Describing AICC president Rahul Gandhi as the country's "buffoon," Telangana caretaker chief minister K Chandrasekhar RaoThursdaysaid the Congress party was the "biggest enemy and villain number one" of the state.

Soon after recommending the dissolution of the Telangana assembly, Rao announced candidates for 105 seats and launched a blistering attack on the Congress.

Recalling how the Congress president had hugged Prime Minister Narendra Modi during the debate on the no-confidence motion and his subsequent wink, Rao said,"Everybody knows Rahul Gandhi. He is the biggest buffoon in the country.

Whole country has seen in the open assembly (Lok Sabha) how he went to Mr Narendra Modi and hugged him, the way he was winking," the TRS president said.

"Rahul Gandhi has inherited the legacy of the Congress Delhi Sultanate. He is the legal heir of the Congress empire of Delhi. That is the reason I appeal to the people, let's not become slaves to Congress, slaves to Delhi."
Largely sparing the BJP in his criticism, he said "decisions on Telangana should be taken in Telangana."
Slamming the Telangana Congress leadership, he alleged that the local leaders "stand in queue" before their leadership and "beg (for tickets)."
"There is no confusion. I personally spoke to the Chief Election Commissioner. Elections will be held along with the four other states."
