The summit, held at Bharat Mandapam, saw reddy advocate for india to dominate all AI layers—from semiconductors and data infrastructure to applications—while hosting semi-annual AI summits. However, irony struck as youth Congress members protested the event, highlighting internal party rifts even as their own leader championed the cause. Opposition voices, including from BRS leader KTR, slammed the disruptions as "petty theatrics" exposing Congress's inconsistencies.
Reddy's pitch positions telangana at the AI forefront, blending futuristic visuals of hyderabad with practical strategies for social justice, poverty reduction, and economic growth. As india gears up for its AI mission, this could mark a pivotal shift—or spark more political fireworks.
