Telangana CM Revanth Reddy Returns From UK After Centre Denies Permission for US Visit
The Centre denied permission for the U.S. leg after three days in London, and more than 20 Congress legislators sought action against a state minister.
- On Monday, Telangana Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy returned to Hyderabad, cutting short his overseas visit after the Centre denied political clearance for his planned United States tour.
- The Ministry of External Affairs said on Friday it denied clearance because the proposed programme was not "appropriate," while Reddy alleged the Centre was showing discrimination toward Telangana.
- Reddy highlighted that the Centre permitted Gujarat Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel to visit the United States to invite investment, contrasting this with the denial of his own tour.
- Soon after landing, Reddy convened a meeting with government Secretaries, while Congress party leaders escalated demands for disciplinary action against Endowments Minister Konda Surekha regarding the controversy.
- All India Congress Committee president Mallikarjun Kharge and Rahul Gandhi plan to raise the issue in Parliament, as Reddy prepares to address the controversy surrounding the blocked visit.
