The central government refused to clear the Telangana chief minister’s planned trip to the United States, leading to its cancellation and prompting minister Revanth Reddy to head back to Hyderabad.
The Union government has turned down the request for a US visit by the chief minister of Telangana, effectively cancelling the planned foreign trip. The denial was communicated to the state administration, which had been preparing the itinerary for the delegation.
The decision has forced the chief minister’s schedule to be revised and has resulted in senior minister Revanth Reddy returning to Hyderabad earlier than expected. Officials said the minister will resume his duties in the state capital upon arrival.
No detailed explanation for the refusal was provided by the centre, and both the state and central ministries declined to comment further on the matter.
