On regularizing the services of contract employees in electricity board, he said that they have not been made permanent but their services have been merged into the department giving them scales.
He also mentioned that due to the wrong policies of the Congress, one lakh contract employees have been facing difficulties. People of the country have rejected the Congress.

He asserted that very soon, he would visit every nook and corner of the State to expose Congress leaders.
He told that Communist Parties are dwindling. In his two hour long press conference held at Pragati Bhavan yesterday, Mr. KCR told that reservations have not been suggested to Muslims on the basis of religion but basing on their economic and social backwardness, bills have been passed in Telangana Assembly and Council for extending reservations from 4% to 12% in respect of Muslims. These bills have been sent to Center for getting its nod.
He pointed out that the local BJP leaders are opposing reservations for Muslims but PM told that Muslims cannot be overlooked in the country. He made a reference to Gujarat and said that there are 8% Muslim in that State. Can they be deprived of development?
Mr. Rao also told that he had discussed this issue with Home Minister, Mr. Rajnath Singh. He hoped that he would be able to resolve this issue successfully. He pointed out that there can’t be one rule for Tamil Nadu and another rule for other States.
