Hyderabad, Feb.28 (Maxim News): Senior Congress Leader V. Hanumantha Rao on Thursday took potshots at Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao for failing to force the Union government to fulfill the promises made in the AP Reorganization Act.

Commenting on the release of IAF pilot Abhinandan, who was captured by Pakistani armed forces, VH said Prime Minister Narendra Modi should mount pressure on Pakistan for his release. (Maxim News)
