The Indian National Congress’s overseas unit rejected a request from leader Revanth Reddy, prompting accusations of double standards.
The overseas wing of the Indian National Congress has refused to accede to a request made by senior leader Revanth Reddy. The decision, announced on Tuesday, has been described by party observers as indicative of a double standard within the organization.
Revanth Reddy and his supporters expressed disappointment, saying the move undermines the party’s commitment to inclusive decision‑making. They called for a review of the criteria used by the overseas unit in handling such appeals.
The overseas Congress, however, maintained that its actions were guided by internal protocols and the specific circumstances surrounding the request. It declined to provide further details, emphasizing that each case is evaluated on its own merits.
