A quick read on shared facts, changing details, and different emphasis.
What is changing or disputed
What remains unclear is the full, public version of the planned U.S. itinerary and how the decision will be explained beyond the reported MEA view of the meetings as political activity.

Same story. Different emphasis.

Neutral2
The neutral framing presents the case as a clearance issue, not a resolved dispute over motive. It says the MEA approved the U.K. leg but withheld permission for the U.S. leg after reviewing the programme shared with it. The reporting identifies the planned meetings as the reason officials said the trip looked political. It does not add any outcome beyond the denial of permission.

‘Plan To Meet Vance, Mamdani’: Why MEA Denied Permission For Telangana CM Revanth Reddy’s US Trip?
Quick source take
The Times of India reports that the Ministry of External Affairs denied permission for Telangana CM Revanth Reddy’s US trip while approving a UK visit, saying the proposed US itinerary was inappropriate because it included meetings with US Vice-President JD Vance, New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani and one of President Trump’s sons. The official plan had not been public; sources say these meetings were in the programme shared with the MEA, framed as political activity, not a developmental mission.
