Whether it is Revanth Reddy as Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee president or selecting Channi as Chief Minister of Punjab or sending Harish Rawat as the chairman of the campaign commitee of Uttarakhand," he stated.

Further, he stated that as a responsible Congressman who is committed to the Congress party and leadership of Sonia Gandhi, it is our responsibility to assess. The way things are going particularly in the recent past, we have had set back in Huzurabad, we ended up with 3000 votes against 62000 votes secured by Congress in the 2018 elections, he further added.
"Therefore we need to look at if anything is lacking, what needs to be done and nothing else besides that. We want congress to be strong to emerge victorious in Telangana," he stated.
