Centre denies permission for Telangana CM Revanth Reddy’s U.S. visit
The State government was informed of the denial of permission for the U.S. visit after the official delegation had already reached the U.K.
The Telangana government's chief minister, Revanth Reddy, was denied permission by the Indian Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) to visit the United States as part of his TelanganaRising delegation. This decision, based on a "political angle," prompted Mr. Reddy to cut short his London tour and return to Hyderabad on August 23, bypassing a planned stop in Boston.
The U.K. leg of the tour was approved by the MEA. In response, Mr. Reddy emphasized the visit's purpose: to bring leading global educational institutions to Telangana and Hyderabad in line with the National Education Policy. The Chief Minister instructed the delegation to proceed with the planned U.S. programme and finalize memoranda of understanding with institutions such as Harvard University and MIT, with the ultimate goal of transforming Hyderabad into a global knowledge hub.
Despite the U.S. visit denial, Mr. Reddy maintained that TelanganaRising would continue, emphasizing that national development and the future of the youth should take precedence over political considerations.
