Telangana CM Revanth Reddy cuts convoy size following PM Modi's call to save fuel

Telangana Chief Minister Anumula Revanth Reddy on Saturday reduced the number of vehicles in his convoy following calls by Prime Minister Narendra Modi to save fuel amid the ongoing crisis in the Middle East. 

The chief minister was seen travelling without high security and jammer in his convoy. A video also went viral in which Reddy's convoy included just three vehicles, as it left from his Jubilee Hills residence in Hyderabad for Secretariat.

Several other chief ministers of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), including Uttar Pradesh's Yogi Adityanath,



Chhattisgarh's Vishnu Deo Sai, Rajasthan's Bhajanlal Sharma, Madhya Pradesh's Mohan Yadav, Bihar's Samrat Choudhary and Delhi's Rekha Gupta, had also cut vehicles in their convoys.

Besides, many union ministers, including Home Minister Amit Shah, and senior leaders of the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) did the same. 

This was followed after PM Modi himself significantly reduced his convoy vehicles. Citing sources, news agency PTI reported that the prime minister also directed the inclusion of electric vehicles (EVs) in his convoy.
