  "account": "On August 26, Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy was planning to visit the United States, sources reveal. The visit aimed to secure investment opportunities for Telangana through an investment promotion program called \"Rising Telangana.\" During his trip, Reddy was expected to meet with Vice President J.D. Vance and New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, though the status of the meeting with Mamdani remains uncertain. According to political clearance documents, the Ministry of External Affairs deemed the two meetings as inappropriate for the purpose of the visit, which was to attract global investments. The cancellation of Reddy's US tour has sparked controversy, with opposition parties questioning the decision.",
