Communication should not be like PM Modi's 'Mann ki Baat': Telangana CM to police officers

HYDERABAD: (Mar 10) Emphasising that effective leadership requires senior officials to listen to their subordinates to understand the ground realities, Telangana Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy has said communication should not be one-sided like Prime Minister Narendra Modi's 'Mann ki Baat' speech.

Speaking at the 'Telangana Police Retreat 2026’ event of the state police, he said officials leading a department should communicate problems downwards and give juniors the autonomy and space to resolve them.

If senior officials exert pressure without ensuring that juniors fully understand the underlying issues, it often leads to a disconnect, he said.
