BJP leader Ashishrao Deshmukh criticised Telangana CM Revanth Reddy’s remark that Rahul Gandhi would’ve taken PoK if he were PM, calling it a "ridiculous statement". He said, "Can someone who can't handle his own party bring PoK back to India?" Accusing Reddy of bringing 'Rahulvaad', Deshmukh added, “This is the same Rahul Gandhi whose every statement is applauded in Pakistan.”
