The Telangana unit of the BJP has publicly questioned Chief Minister K. Chandrashekar Rao about the purpose of his meetings with Revanth Reddy during the latter's recent visit to the United States.
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in Telangana raised concerns in a public forum about the agenda of meetings held by Chief Minister K. Chandrashekar Rao with opposition leader Revanth Reddy during Reddy's recent trip to the United States. Party leaders demanded clarification on the political objectives of the discussions, suggesting that the talks could influence the state's electoral dynamics.
According to statements released by BJP state officials, the CM met Revanth Reddy at a diplomatic event in Washington, followed by a series of informal gatherings. The BJP argued that such interactions should be transparent, especially when they involve a senior opposition figure from the Indian National Congress.
The Chief Minister's office has not yet issued a detailed response, but a spokesperson indicated that the meetings were part of routine diplomatic engagement and did not pertain to any political coordination. The issue is expected to feature in upcoming legislative debates as the state approaches its next assembly elections.
Political analysts note that the controversy reflects growing tension between the ruling TRS (now BRS) and the BJP in Telangana, with both parties seeking to shape voter perception ahead of the polls.
