CM’s US visit permission denial: BJP, BRS leaders speaking sans complete information, says Chamala

‘G. Kishan Reddy speaking as though he is Gujarat CM’

Congress MP and TPCC Media Committee chairman Chamala Kiran Kumar Reddy criticized the BJP and BRS parties for their negative remarks about Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy's recent foreign visit. During a media briefing at Gandhi Bhavan, he accused both parties of speaking without having complete information on the matter. The Centre had granted permission for Mr. Revanth Reddy's visit to the United Kingdom, but denied his proposed visit to the United States, Mr. Kiran Kumar Reddy claimed. He emphasized that such a situation had never occurred before.

Addressing Union Minister G. Kishan Reddy, he mocked his tone, as if he were the Chief Minister of Gujarat. Mr. Kiran Kumar Reddy questioned why semiconductor projects that were supposed to arrive in Telangana were allegedly shifted to Gujarat. He also questioned the BJP's stance on major infrastructure projects in Telangana, such as the Musi rejuvenation project, Regional Ring Road, and Hyderabad Metro expansion. "Why are these development projects being obstructed?" he asked.

He alleged that the BJP and BRS were working against the interests of Telangana and were not willing to see the State progress. Mr. Kiran Kumar Reddy accused the BRS of being prepared to accept a poor electoral performance if it meant preventing the Congress from gaining power at the Centre. As the chairman of the TPCC Media Committee, he vowed to monitor the social media handles of Congress leaders and examine their activities.
