Kharge Calls Centre’s Denial of Revanth Reddy’s US Visit Unjust
Mallikarjun Kharge said the central government should have allowed Telangana Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy to visit the United States.
He called the decision unfair.
Kharge said many people from Telangana and Andhra Pradesh live in the United States.
Some of them may want to invest in Telangana.
He said the Chief Minister could have met these possible investors.
Investments could create companies and jobs, according to Kharge.
He also said industries would stay in the state for many years.
The central government did not provide its response in the report.
Mallikarjun Kharge condemned the Centre for denying Telangana Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy permission to visit the United States.
Kharge said the visit could have helped Revanth Reddy meet non-resident Indians and potential investors.
He argued that investments from the United States could benefit Telangana, India and employment.
Kharge alleged that the Centre was deliberately preventing the Chief Minister from attracting investment.
He said industries brought to Telangana would remain for decades regardless of changes in the Chief Minister’s office.
