In the phone call, the MP is heard asking a Congress leader to support his brother Raj Gopal Reddy and vote for him in the by-election. He is also heard saying that he will become the next chief of Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee (TPCC) and that he will undertake a march in the state and bring the Congress party to power.

The Congress leader distanced himself from the campaign and later went on a vacation to Australia on October 14 and will only return after the election.
