The BRS has demanded that the Centre and Telangana government reveal the reasons behind the denial of permission for Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy's US visit. MLC Dasoju Sravan said the Ministry of External Affairs must disclose what 'wrong decisions' the Chief Minister had taken, and alleged the schedule for August 27 and 28 in Boston and New York was blank, suggesting the Chief Minister was planning something he was hiding from the people.
Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge condemned the Centre, calling the denial 'deeply unfair' and 'fundamentally wrong'. The Hindu reports Kharge said the visit was to interact with the Indian diaspora and invite NRI investment in Telangana, and that the Centre was deliberately preventing states from directly reaching out to investors. The BJP's Telangana unit chief N Ramachander Rao, quoted by the Deccan Herald, alleged the trip was planned to meet representatives of anti-India forces and individuals who are ideological mentors to Rahul Gandhi.
Indian Opinion Analysis
All three sources agree the MEA denied clearance, but frame it starkly differently. The BRS and Congress (via The Hindu) present it as an unfair central obstruction of investment outreach and an insult to the state. The BJP (via Deccan Herald) counters with a national-security framing, alleging the trip was meant to meet anti-India figures. Neither side offers official MEA reasoning. The careful reader sees a political blame game with no verified facts: the blank schedule cited by BRS is circumstantial, and the BJP's allegation is uncorroborated. Watch for any MEA statement or official letter clarifying the grounds for denial.
