Chandrasekhar Rao on Friday said that when he was part of the UPA-I government, India had carried out 11 surgical strikes but never claimed credit. Prime Minster Narendra Modi was now showing photographs of surgical strikes and asking for votes, Mr Rao said. If necessary, the TRS will launch a national party to form a consortium of regional parties.” Terming the BJP leaders as “pseudo Hindus”, Mr Rao said the BJP was using Hindutva for votes. Mr Rao also reminded TPCC chief N. Uttam Kumar Reddy of his pledge that he would quit politics if the TRS came to power for a second time. Asking why anyone would care if Mr Reddy shaved or not, Mr Rao asked why he was contesting elections as he had said he would quit politics.
