The Telangana CM attributed Prime Minister Narendra Modi's retreat from the ambitious seat target to a realisation of its impracticality.

Moreover, Reddy accused BJP of engaging in what he termed as "dirty politics," referencing controversies such as the fake video controversy surrounding Union Home Minister Amit Shah. He alleged that such tactics were aimed to derail the election campaign of the Congress party.
