Telangana vs Kerala: A Political Showdown Between Reddy and Vijayan

Reddy accused Vijayan of relying on outdated data, while Vijayan defended Kerala and said he would respond in detail later.

  • On Tuesday, Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan escalated his verbal feud with Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy by using the derogatory term "Dash mone" during a press conference in Kannur.
  • The clash began when Revanth criticized Kerala's governance during a campaign visit, prompting Vijayan to label him "misinformed" and accuse him of "ridiculing" the state.
  • Countering on Monday, Revanth argued that Vijayan relies on outdated data from the NITI Aayog SDG Index 2023-24, citing brain drain and industrial stagnation in Kerala.
  • During Tuesday's press meet, Vijayan questioned whether Revanth's tone befits a Chief Minister while promising a detailed response to the allegations at a later date.
  • Opposition Leader V D Satheesan noted the incident follows previous controversies where Vijayan faced criticism for using derogatory language against political opponents G Sudhakaran and N K Premachandran.
