Telangana’s march to glory!

KT Rama Rao, TRS working president, and Industries Minister, asserted that the Centre could not break the spirit or stop Telangana’s march to glory. Without center support, he stated that the State had repeatedly outperformed others on various fronts.

In a series of tweets, Rama Rao said after the union government scrapped ITIR-Hyderabad, Telangana’s IT output grew by 3.2 times in the last 8 years, recording a 15% CAGR. Last year, one out of 3 IT jobs created in the country was from Hyderabad.

While the Centre stiffled Telangana by not releasing funds on time and imposed FRBM restrictions on its borrowings, the State has contributed five percent of India’s GDP with just 2.5 % of the nation’s population.

He also reminded that the Centre refused to support Mission Kakatiya, but the State rejuvenated 20,000 lakes to become an inspiration to the union government’s “Amrut Sarovar” programme.

Despite the Centre’s refusing support, the KCR government is building 33 government medical colleges in all its district headquarters; completed the Kaleshwaram project, the world’s largest lift irrigation scheme, on its own; became the first Indian State to provide potable drinking water to cent per cent households.
