Naidu omitted from Ivanka dinner

November 28, 2017 15:03

US First Daughter Ivanka Trump, the chief guest at the dinner at the Falaknuma Palace, Hyderabad, tonight is at the unwitting centre of a fight between Andhra Pradesh and Telangana.

The Prime Minister's Office drew up a list of 101 invitees, the who's who of the country for the dinner, but omitted Andhra Pradesh CM Chandrababu Naidu.

There were lots of behind-the-scene activities to ensure Naidu is not invited, but at the same time, there was a pressure on the PMO to include him.

We are told that as a compromise, the PMO has decided to invite his daughter-in-law, who is an industrialist. The TDP is believed to be upset with what they perceive to be a slur on their leader But nothing can be done.
