Extending 70th Independent Day Celebrations from the citadel of Historical Golconda Fort, Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao today greeted the people of Telangana whose land is being purified with the holy waters of River Krishanaveni as the State is soaking in the 12-day Pushkaralu. When the national tricolor was infurled on the Golconda Fort premises, the State was a two-and-a-half month old infant and facing teething problems, he said. “Gradually the State government could give a stable government and in two years, we have crossed some milestones in the development and welfare sector and the nation is looking at us”, he claimed. The Chief Minister asserted that the youngest State was treading on a growth trajectory by maintaining cordial relations with the Centre and neighbouring States. As part of its goal to become No. 1 State in the country, the Telangana government succeeded in its efforts to ensure that the flagship programs are on a fast pace. (Photo: Zabi)
