He additional blamed the previous prime minister for declaring a ceasefire throughout the struggle with Pakistan.

What Revanth Reddy Stated?

Whereas addressing an occasion in Hyderabad on Thursday, Reddy had raised questions on why Prime Minister Narendra Modi had known as a ceasefire to the latest navy operations in opposition to Pakistan with out consulting political events though an all-party assembly was held earlier than navy strikes started.

“Modi is expired rupee, Modi is like a 1000 rupees’ invalid note. Today, this country needs Rahul Gandhi’s leadership. If a leader like Rahul Gandhi would have been Prime Minister of this country, then he would have taken (former PM) Indira Gandhi as inspiration and would have walked in Kaali’s (Maata) way and would have made Pakistan into two parts and would have taken PoK back,” Reddy had mentioned.

Reddy drew comparisons with the late Prime Minister Indira Gandhi’s management and her decisive motion in opposition to China and Pakistan, together with the 1971 struggle, which led to the creation of Bangladesh.
