Strongly criticizing the decision of the High Command to make Botcha Satyanarayana as the PCC Chief, senior Congress leader and MP, Hanumanth Rao, talking to the newspersons quipped about how they could show their faces to the people of Telangana as the party leadership made N. Kiran Kumar Reddy as the Chief Minister, who was from the Rayalaseema region and now Botcha as the PCC Chief from the Andhra region.

He said that the Congress High Command appears to have done an experiment by changing the tradition of giving the PCC post to the Telangana region when the Chief Minister was from Andhra. Faulting the High Command's decision, Rao questioned the wisdom of the Union minister, S Jaipal Reddy, and the MP,K Keshav Rao, in recommending the name of Satyanarayana to the party leadership. He said that some Congress leaders have misled the party president, Ms Sonia Gandhi.
