Telangana: CM KCR extends wishes on fifth statehood day

Hyderabad: Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao on Sunday extended his greetings on the fifth anniversary of the foundation of the state and credited the Telangana residents for the progress it has made.

“The confidence of people of Telangana on us that those of us who spearheaded a relentless and non-compromising struggle to achieve the state would also take the new state forward in the path of progress, has been kept up cent per cent. By giving equal importance to both development and welfare we initiated the process of reconstruction of the state,” said Rao in a statement.

The statement added, “The success of Mission Bhagiratha Scheme, aimed at a comprehensive and permanent solution to drinking water, is literally visualized by people. Despite scorching terrible summer people are not at all worried about drinking water thanks to Mission Bhagiratha. The works of Mission Bhagiratha are almost completed.”

“Within a very short period, we were able to find a complete solution to the power crisis. Once to have power was news, but now, to have a cut is news. I am happy to announce that in the entire country, Telangana is the one and the only state, that provides round the clock 24-hour power supply to all sectors including agriculture,” Rao’s statement further read.

The statement also talks at great length about the other major successes of the state government and the major changes in Telangana. It also stated how communities such as weavers, fishermen and shepherds have benefitted across the state due to targeted help provided to them and asserted the importance of Kaleshwaram Lift Irrigation Project and other ongoing projects on Godavari and Krishna rivers will positively impact the farmers.

The statement towards the end urges the people to ensure “successful implementation of the new Panchayati Raj, new Municipal and new Revenue Acts” with their participation.
