REPORTERS’ DIARY : TG CM not getting enough sleep

Workaholics too need stimulants to keep going, though what keeps them refreshed while they are at work differs from person to person. Telangana Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy likes to mention in all his public meetings that he has been working 18 hours a day from the day he assumed office. Laying it on thick, he recently stated that he was becoming restless due to lack of sleep. One can understand his situation. For, unlike in his previous avatar as TPCC chief, Revanth Reddy, as Chief Minister, needs to work in a focused manner. In his previous role, power naps were OK during travel.  Now, with many leaders within the Congress and in other parties eyeing his gaddi, he does not want to be caught napping. In a dicey situation, a ‘power nap’ can end in a ‘power trip’. So, back-to-back meetings from 7:00 am to 12:00 am and more is never too much. Therefore, he is extremely tired; and, due to sheer exhaustion, does not get restful sleep. The 3-4 hours of shuteye he manages is not allowing him to cool down. They say, he is a tea addict.
