In a press statement issued here, the BJP leader said: "Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy says that Rahul Gandhi wants the implementation of enhanced BC reservations. If it is true, then ask Rahul Gandhi to declare an OBC leader as the Congress prime ministerial candidate."

"Let Rahul Gandhi announce that an OBC would be made PM if Congress is voted to power. If he doesn't, then it would be construed that Congress is hood-winking BCs in the name of reservations," he said.
