  "account": "The Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy's visit to the United States on August 26 potentially planned to include a meeting with New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani, according to a tentative itinerary. The Chief Minister's Office clarified that the meeting remained tentative, stating no official communication had been exchanged between the Mayor and the Chief Minister's office. The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) denied Reddy's US visit clearance, citing that the proposed program was deemed inappropriate given the nature of the visit and Reddy's office. This led to a controversy within Telangana, with the Bharat Rashtra Samiti (BRS) questioning the cancellation and the opposition BJP MP Arvind Dharmapuri demanding answers regarding Reddy's potential meeting with Mamdani.",
