Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy revealed the purpose of his meeting with Defence Minister Rajnath Singh in New Delhi on Monday. Reddy told reporters that he met Singh to request the establishment of Sainik Schools in Telangana. “In UP and Andhra Pradesh, there are three and two Sainik Schools, respectively. However, there are no Sainik Schools in Telangana. That’s why I met Rajnath Singh to open Sainik Schools in Telangana,” Reddy explained.
Reddy also criticized the Modi government over the NEET exam result controversy and called for a judicial inquiry into the matter.
In addition, Reddy met Union Minister for Housing and Urban Affairs Manohar Lal Khattar on Monday. Earlier in the day, Rajnath Singh and other newly elected MPs took their oaths as members of the 18th Lok Sabha during its first session.
