  • Innovative thinking, effective governance will lead country on path of development: CM KCR

    Innovative thinking, effective governance will lead country on path of development: CM KCR

    Hyderabad: BRS president and Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao emphasised the need for a transformed India to alleviate the hardships faced by various segments of society, including farmers, Dalits, Bahujans, and Adivasis. He expressed concern that India’s progress would be hindered as long as political parties adhere to stereotypical governance and engage in unscrupulous activities. He was addressing the leaders from various political parties of Maharashtra who joined the BRS ranks here on Wednesday.

    The Chief Minister said that leading the country on the path of development did not require rocket science, but rather innovative thinking and effective governance. He expressed disappointment that past rulers had not adequately addressed the needs of the people over the course of seven decades, despite the abundance of natural resources in the country. He urged the governments to prioritise the welfare of farmers, Dalits, and Adivasis, highlighting Telangana as a role model for the nation in formulating policies for these marginalised sections.

    “The development of Telangana showcases the absence of effective governance in the country. India is in dire need of transformation to address the public issues, but the rulers at the Centre lack the vision to bring about it. Telangana, over the past nine years, has proven that where there is a will, there is a way,” he said. He stated that the BRS, aimed at ushering in radical change and development in India, was gaining momentum, with Maharashtra taking the lead.

    On the occasion, Rao elucidated his ideas to address the concerns of farmers, particularly in improving irrigation and electricity systems to ensure agricultural success. He urged farmers, women, and youth across the country to unite and work together to fulfill the aspirations of the people, rather than being divided by political affiliations.

    Several prominent leaders from Ahmednagar in Maharashtra, including NCP Maharashtra State vice-president Ghanshyam Shelar joined the party in the presence of the Chief Minister. Shelar who gained significant voter support with nearly one lakh votes during the last Assembly election, was defeated in Srigondha constituency due to technical reasons. They pledged their commitment to strengthen Rao’s policies throughout the country and strive towards fostering a developed India. BRS MLA A Jeevan Reddy and BRS Maharashtra leaders, including Khadir Maulana and Himanshu Tiwari, were also present.

    Telangana Brahmin Samkshema Parishad hails CM

    After being neglected by successive governments in the past, the Brahman community hailed Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao for the initiatives being taken up by Telangana government for welfare of the community.

    People from the community faced several hardships and there was a time, many could not even perform marriages of their daughters and ensure proper education to their children.

    After formation of the State, the Telangana government introduced Vivekananda Overseas Education Scheme providing Rs.20 lakh assistance, said Telangana Brahmin Samkshema Parishad Member Joshi Gopala Sharma here on Friday.

    This apart, under the Brahmin Entrepreneurial Scheme of Telangana, assistance is being extended to people from the community to set up small scale industries. No other State was implementing such welfare programmes for the Brahmin community in the country, he said, adding perhaps Telangana was the only place where aged veda or shastra pandits were being extended monthly honorarium of Rs.2,500.

    “In the past due to water scarcity in reservoirs, Telangana people had to visit Vijayawada for Krishna Pushkaralu and Rajahmundry for Godavari Pushkaralu. Now, we either go to Beechupally or Basara. There is no dearth of water,” said Gopala Sharma.

    Apart from setting up Veda Patashalas, the State government constructed Sri Lakshmi Narasimha Swamy temple, Yadadri.

    Similarly, the Raja Rajeswara Swamy Temple, Vemulawada and Sri Anjanna temple at Kondagattu are also being developed. In the past, no government had thought of renovating Yadadri but Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao developed it as a spacious and marvelous temple, he said.

    The Doopadeepa Naivedyam scheme introduced by the government was ensuring prompt salaries for priests, besides performing regular rituals in temples in the State, he added.

    Seats for all sitting MLAs, says CM KCR

    Hyderabad: Fighting all, Telangana has emerged as one of the rich States of India, as it was predicted while fighting for its Statehood, Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao said on Wednesday.

    Addressing party leaders, he said success was assured when the party could highlight its achievements at all forums. He made it clear all sitting MLAs would get re-nomination in the ensuing elections.
    In Telangana, 56.44 lakh acres of land has already been sown in Yasangi. Groundwater levels increased tremendously with Mission Kakatiya. The Mission Kakatiya programme has worked like a mantra. Over 30 lakh borewells in the State have enough water to support crops, while ponds and check dams are overflowing during the dry season.

    Though the Centre wanted meters to be installed for agriculture services, the State government did not do so as it sought to stand by the farmers, he added.
