Asserting that the Centre is placing spokes in the wheel, TRS working president KT Rama Rao said that it has no power to break the spirit or halt the march to glory of Telangana. The State had repeatedly outperformed others on various fronts, despite the Centre’s lack of support.
During the last eight years, Telangana’s IT output has increased by 3.2 times, and last year, one out of three IT jobs created in the country came from Hyderabad after the union government scrapped ITIR-Hyderabad.
While Telangana was stiffed by the Centre by not releasing funds on time and imposing FRBM restrictions on its borrowings, it contributed five percent to India’s GDP with just 2.5 percent of the population.
He tweeted: We increased our per capita by more than double in last eight years; Highest for a large state in India.
Telangana recorded phenomenal industrial growth, creating 1.6 million new jobs and sanctioning 20,000 new units even though the Centre refused to sanction the industrial corridors. The Industries Minister said, “You did not sanction a Bulk Drug Park for Telangana, yet we will build one of the world’s largest Pharma City.”
He said that the Centre refused to support Mission Kakatiya, but the state rejuvenated 20,000 lakes to inspire the “Amrut Sarovar” program of the union government.
Despite the Centre’s refusal to support it, the State government is building 33 government medical colleges in all its district headquarters; has completed the Kaleshwaram project, the world’s largest lift irrigation scheme; has become the first Indian state to provide potable drinking water to all residents.
He further added: We will also complete all other pending irrigation projects with or without your support. We are #Telangana. We know how to Fight against odds, How to Dream & How to Achieve.”
