He was of the opinion that Congress party is their biggest enemy and they will defeat them in the upcoming Assembly elections.
Briefing the press conference in Hyderabad on Thursday he recalled the incident when Rahul hugged Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the Monsoon Session of the Parliament and even winked after it.

Asked about his opinion on Rahul’s plans to extensively campaign in the state, Rao said, “The more he comes, it will be easier for us (to win elections).”
