“Telugu has been recognized as the official language in the USA”
What FACTLY found
Neither Telugu nor any other Indian language has been recognized as the official language in the USA. At the State level, some of the States have official languages but none of them has Telugu as their official language. While it is true that some material of the elections have been provided in the Telugu language, but it is limited to some parts of the USA
