The Ministry of External Affairs on Friday clarified that political clearance was denied for Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy’s proposed visit to the United States, while his visit to the United Kingdom was approved.
Responding to questions about the Centre’s decision, MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said visits by chief ministers and other dignitaries are assessed by the ministry before political clearance is granted.
“Let me say that the visit of chief ministers, as indeed of other dignitaries, are assessed by the Ministry of External Affairs in order to accord political clearance. The program proposed, in such cases, should be appropriate to the office held and the purpose of the visit," Jaiswal said.

“In this particular case, that was not so in respect of the United States, and therefore the clearance was denied,” Jaiswal said.
