The Union government said it did not grant permission for Congress leader Revanth Reddy's planned US visit, prompting a political spat between Telangana Chief Minister KCR and the BJP.
The Union government has stated that it did not grant clearance for Congress leader Revanth Reddy's planned visit to the United States, according to a statement from the Ministry of External Affairs.
The denial surfaced as Telangana Chief Minister K. Chandrashekar Rao (KCR) publicly accused the centre of politicising foreign travel, while the BJP alleged that the state government was attempting to undermine the centre's security protocols.
Revanth Reddy, a senior Congress figure from Telangana, had sought permission to attend a series of political meetings in the US. The ministry indicated that the application was either incomplete or not approved, without providing detailed reasons.
The dispute has heightened tensions between the ruling party at the centre and the state government, with both sides exchanging statements on social media. Analysts warn that such rows could affect inter‑governmental coordination on diplomatic matters.
No further developments have been reported as of now.
