Revanth Reddy says CBN is not his mentor. Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy recently gave a strong and witty retort to a journalist's question regarding his relationship with former Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu and the dynamics between their respective parties.
During an interview on NTV's "Question Hour," a journalist questioned Revanth Reddy about the teacher-disciple relationship often attributed to Chandrababu Naidu and himself, especially considering Naidu's decision to contest elections in Telangana. The journalist further inquired about potential cooperation between the two leaders.
Revanth Reddy responded with a sharp and humorous remark, stating, "Who is the disciple? Who is the teacher? I am Chandrababu's companion. If you say that the son of a mindless donkey is teacher and disciple, you will be put on the wall. You are talking to a fool."
Revanth Reddy clarified that he won as an independent MLA and later joined the TDP party, where Chandrababu Naidu served as the party president. He emphasized that their relationship was one of companionship, not a teacher-disciple dynamic.
The exchange highlights the underlying political tensions and competition between the TDP and other parties in Telangana. Chandrababu Naidu's decision to contest elections in the state has likely been perceived as a challenge by Revanth Reddy and his party.
