A visibly angry Chief Minister, A Revanth Reddy, on Thursday accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah of obstructing efforts by a delegation from Telangana to secure an appointment with President Droupadi Murmu.

"We had sought an appointment with the President 10 days ago. After our request, both the prime minister and the home minister met her. We do not know what was discussed during that meeting. However, our ministers, Konda Surekha, D Sridhar Babu, and Ponnam Prabhakar, and TPCC president B Mahesh Kumar Goud believe that the prime minister, the union home minister, and the Union government have deliberately prevented us from getting an appointment," Revanth told reporters in Delhi. He added that the delegation had been waiting for two days to meet the President but was yet to receive confirmation.

"This is nothing but an insult to the people of Telangana," the chief minister said.
