Telangana CM Treads Independent Path, Risking Backlash
-
Telangana CM Revanth Reddy praised PM Modi's Gujarat model and called him "elder brother", putting state's interest over Congress' anti-Modi stance. This upset some Congress supporters.
-
Unlike Congress' anti-Hindu sentiments, Reddy respects Hindu customs. He performed Gau Puja before voting and a puja before taking charge as CM.
-
Reddy signed MoUs worth Rs 12,400 crore with Adani group, while Congress aggressively attacks BJP over Adani links.
-
Reddy kept Telangana out of the 'South Tax Movement' initiated by Congress-ruled states, showing an independent approach.
-
Congress has history of sidelining leaders like Tharoor, Pilot, Amarinder Singh and Himanta Biswa Sarma who show independent thinking. Reddy may face same fate.
