REPORTERS’ DIARY : Revanth’s Delhi Trips: Walking KCR’s Path to Isolation?

Chief Minister Revanth Reddy’s frequent trips to Delhi have sparked comparisons to the final stretch of Ex CM KCR’s tenure. The striking resemblance has not gone unnoticed, with journalists and political circles murmuring about how the CM appears more accessible to the national leaders and media than to his own state. His engagements now seem exclusively reserved for Delhi, raising eyebrows and fueling speculation about his priorities. A senior journalist, clearly unimpressed, remarked, “We all saw what happened to the last Chief Minister who chose to take the Delhi route.” The reference to KCR’s fall after his repeated attempts to become national leader is hard to miss. If Revanth Reddy continues down the same path – prioritizing Delhi over Telangana – many believe he might end up facing a similar fate sooner rather than later. Political history in the state has shown that Chief Ministers who lose touch with their backyard often pay the price, and murmurs suggest that Revanth is already treading dangerously close to that territory.
