Lead The Nation In The Right Direction

CM KCR called upon the intellectuals to become torch-bearers and lead society in the right direction. Addressing the glittering closing ceremony of Swatantra Bharata Vajrotsavalu at L B Stadium on Monday, KCR said that it was not proper for the intellectuals to keep silent even after understanding the situation.

"Acting like not understanding even after understanding is not the sign of intellectuals," he said.

The CM said that the nation was not progressing as it should have though it had abundant mineral wealth, natural wealth, power, and human resources. He lamented that the fruits of Independence had not reached the poor even after 75 years of Independence, their aspirations had not been fulfilled, and the fruits of Independence had not reached many sections. He said people continue to suffer because of a maniac Government at the helm of the country's affairs.

Detailing various activities taken up by the government during the fortnight, he said programs were conducted daily, which led to a discussion on the Independence Movement in villages and towns.

The chief minister complimented the Vajrotsavalu committee Chairman K Keshava Rao and Chief Secretary Somesh Kumar for grandly organizing the fortnight program.
