Taunting the BJP over its promise to make a backward caste leader as chief minister in Telangana, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday asked how can the saffron party do so when it is going to get only a meagre percentage of votes.

Addressing a poll rally at Kalwakurthy in Telangana, he said BJP leaders used to swagger about their chances in the state. However, the Congress had "punctured" the four tyres of BJP's vehicle in Telangana, he claimed.
