Denial of nod for U.S. trip an insult to Telangana: Revanth
Telangana Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy on Monday termed the Centre’s refusal to grant political clearance for his proposed visit to the U.S. an insult to Telangana.He alleged that the decision reflected discrimination against the State, and was an effort to rob investments from Telangana in favour of Gujarat.
The Ministry of External Affairs, which had been approached by the State government for clearance for the Chief Minister’s official visit to the U.K. and the U.S., approved only the U.K. leg of the tour.
The MEA cited denial of clearance from the “political angle.”
Mr. Reddy said the State government had provided detailed information to the Centre about the purpose and objectives of his proposed foreign visit. “If the proposal of a Chief Minister is rejected without properly reviewing the information, can such a decision be taken without the knowledge of the Prime Minister,” he asked presspersons here after his return from the U.K. leg of the trip on Monday.
He questioned the Centre’s approach by citing the foreign visits of Gujarat Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel. “If the Gujarat Chief Minister can travel to the U.S. and Canada to promote Vibrant Gujarat 2047, why was the visit of the Telangana Chief Minister denied when it was proposed for similar purposes under Telangana Rising 2047,” he asked.
Rejecting rumours of his scheduled meeting with New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani, Mr. Reddy said no such appointment was fixed. “Mr. Mamdani is not an antisocial element. He is an elected mayor,” the Chief Minister added.
Mr. Reddy said Telangana should not be treated as a lesser State. He added that his government would continue with Telangana Rising 2047 programme.
