    Telangana Formation Day fete starts today

    HYDERABAD: The 21-day decennial celebrations commemorating the Telangana Formation Day will commence on Friday with an inaugural function at the Secretariat. Over the course of the celebrations, the State government aims to showcase the developmental and welfare activities undertaken in the past nine years.

    While political experts suggest that the ruling BRS is riding high on its achievements and aiming for a third consecutive victory in the upcoming Assembly elections, the BJP-led Union government is also celebrating the State Formation Day at Golconda Fort, while the Congress has planned a series of programmes, giving credit to Sonia Gandhi for the creation of Telangana. With the Assembly polls approaching, the completion of nine years since the State’s formation will ignite a debate on its development, opine experts.

    “We have numerous schemes, and there will be ample opportunity to discuss them in the upcoming days. The Opposition has nothing to contribute to the conversation. Our State has emerged as a role model for other States. We hold the top position in per capita income, and we have ensured access to piped drinking water for 100 per cent of our households,” a BRS leader said.

    While greeting people, Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao said, “As I extend my warm greetings to the people, I am delighted to note that citizens from all States are now demanding ‘Telangana model governance’. This is a moment of pride for every resident of Telangana.”Governor Tamilisai Soundararajan has also extended greetings to the people of Telangana.

    “Both BJP and Congress have been acting as stooges of Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao. YSRTP is the only party that has been fighting for the cause of the people,” she added.“I have not completed 3,850 km padayatra to merge YSRTP with Congress. If I really want to join any party, there will be no objection from anyone. Even if I want to join hands with KCR will he say no? It is not proper to talk about merger of my party, after all the hard work I have done. It is nothing but insulting a woman,” she said.

    Stating that the YSRTP will fight the elections alone, Sharmila said that the party was identifying candidates to contest from all Assembly constituencies, and that the talk of an alliance would only come at a later stage.She said that only if all the parties gave an assurance that they were solidly against the chief minister, she would consider any form of an alliance.Sharmila also asked the CM to respond to 10 questions she posed before starting the decennial Telangana Formation Day celebrations.

    “How many jobs were filled in 10 years? What was your family’s wealth before and after these 10 years? What happened to the promise of making a Dalit the chief minister? Is it not true that your government has sold 30,000 acres during this decade? What happened to KG to PG free education? If farmers have become millionaires as you claim, then why have 9,000 farmers died by suicide under your rule? You had promised to irrigate one crore acres. How many have you irrigated? What is the condition of the families of Telangana martyrs,” she asked.

    Naresh explained the reasons for his decision in a selfie video which was recorded by him before taking an extreme step.

    Naresh is running a two wheeler showroom in Kathalapur mandal headquarters wherein one Pratap is working during the last few years. Lucky draw schemes have also been operated in the showroom.

    Naresh, in his selfie video, alleged that Pratap, who collected money from the customers, denied bikes to customers who won vehicles in draw of lots.

    Informing that Pratap had collected Rs 1.90 crore from the customer, Naresh said that he has no idea how many customers were handed over bikes. Though he was running a showroom, the entire transactions were done in the name of Pratap since bank accounts were there in the name of Pratap.

    Besides blaming him, Pratap made false propaganda against him stating that he was incurred into debts and going to put IP. Pratap agreed to come to the lawyer within four days to settle accounts. However, he had not turned out even after one month.

    He was unable to visit his native place because of false propaganda made against him by Pratap. So, he has decided to end life.
