Will speak about all issues soon: Telangana CM Reddy on cancelled US trip

Telangana Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy announced on Sunday that he will return to Hyderabad after his UK leg of a cancelled US trip, stating he will speak about all related issues once he returns. Reddy had originally planned to go to Boston, but the Central Government denied his permission to travel for political reasons. He expressed his gratitude to the All India Congress Committee, Congress party national president Mallikarjun Kharge, and all supporters, both in his nation and across the country.

Reddy is expected to reach Hyderabad early Monday morning following his return. The Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee remained tight-lipped on the matter. Reddy's visit to the US was reportedly intended to include meetings with Vice President J.D. Vance and New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani on August 26, though the NYC Mayor's meeting was described as "tentative" by the CM's office.

The Indian government denied Reddy's clearance, citing concerns over the "level" of meetings and the "purpose" of his visit, one of which was an investment promotion program called "Rising Telangana." The meeting with Mayor Mamdani led to tensions within Telangana, with the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) questioning the cancellation.
