Describing the remarks as "absolutely appalling," Rama Rao accused the Congress of once again displaying a lack of respect for the judiciary. He said the comments were not only an insult to the Supreme Court but also to the Constitution of India. Rama Rao further alleged that the Congress has a pattern of questioning judicial verdicts for political advantage, citing the Kancha Gachibowli forest issue and the Palamuru-Rangareddy project case as instances.
