Telangana Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy has expressed concern over the declining presence of Telugu origin leaders in the Corridors of Power at the national level.
Leaders like former President Neelam Sanjiva Reddy, Telugu Desam Party (TDP) founder N.T. Rama Rao and former Prime Minister P.V. Narasimha Rao had a say in national politics. Senior leaders such as M. Venkaiah Naidu and S. Jaipal Reddy sustained the momentum.
“We have to search for a Telugu person in the Union Cabinet as we don’t have a source to represent our issues at the national level. This can turn into an issue of identity and self respect in future,” he said.
