When he was asked that we talk of development but why are votes being sought only in the name of caste? So he said, ‘You only run the party. If you are a journalist then ask questions and wait till you hear the solution. However, later handling the matter, Rao said, ‘The party was started for everyone, but I had more people from certain sections at that time, so you used to say that this party is theirs, we are working to make ourselves the party of all. Huh.’
