As a permanent resident of Hyderabad, I am always delighted to read /get good news for Hyderabad and Telangana including my country. So the information, CM Revanth Reddy garu to attend “Leadership: 21st Century” programme at Kennedy School of Government, Harvard University is an excellent news. The highlighting point is that Reddy garu is the first CM in Independent India to enrol for a programme in Ivy League. Wishing more and more laurels to CM Reddy garu.
While the admiration for the CM of Telangana for enrolling in a course for leadership is fine, I don’t see why he should go that far when we have premium institutes and experts who can give him lessons in leadership. I see this as a publicity stunt and would like to know as to who is footing the bill. I am double certain that it is the state exchequer that will get drained.
