REPORTERS’ DIARY : Revanth takes a leaf out of KTR’s book

In Telangana, there seems to be a significant level of disguised employment among politicians. The other day Chief Minister Revanth Reddy held a three-hour-long ‘meeting’, following fiery protests by those batting for unemployed youth. Interestingly, those who attended the reactive meeting took everyone by surprise, giving chance for opposition Bharatiya Rashtra Samithi to mock at the participants. BRS said that CM Revanth Reddy had discussed the problem of unemployment with “the politically unemployed”. Scribes have elephantine memory. Immediately, reporters could draw a parallel with BRS working president KT Rama Rao. A senior journalist commented, “Just like KTR used to ask his followers, Revanth is asking his own people and not those who are really unemployed”.
