Minister for Industries K T Rama Rao accompanied by top executives of Foxconn while participating in the ground-breaking ceremony at Kongara Kalan said that this demonstrates the ‘Telangana Speed’ and in phase-1 it would create 25,000 jobs.

The State had identified electronics manufacturing as a focus area and was aspiring to become the Shenzhen of India. He said what China achieved in 30 years to help Shenzhen become a global centre for technology, research and manufacturing, Telangana would do it in 20 years.

    The IT Minister said that Telangana was aiming to create a 1.5-million workforce and to create a 150-billion-dollar economy just in electronics manufacturing in the next 10 years. “Hopefully, by this time next year, we will be inaugurating the new facility.

The State ranks number two in the IT sector, but out of every three jobs created in India in the last one year, one was from Telangana, he said, recalling that Foxconn Group Chairman Young Lu praised Telangana’s speed.

    “Telangana shall live up to the reputation. The MoU between Telangana and Foxconn was signed on March 2 and in about 2.5 months, the ground-breaking ceremony is taking place,” he said, adding that this showed the commitment of Telangana.

    Foxconn would also associate with the State government to set up a training centre to train the youth in acquiring necessary skills to work in hi-tech manufacturing, he said.

    IT Chairman and CEO Sidney Lu said it was an exciting day for FIT. “This marks the beginning of a new critical start in our global expansion journey. This facility will serve as a hub for our manufacturing expansion plans. This new facility requires significant investment in FIT’s future,” said Sidney Lu, adding that the facility would enable FIT to serve its customers better, expand its capabilities and create new opportunities for its team members. “I cannot wait to see more local talent to work with FIT,” he added.

  • No impact of Karnataka poll results on BJP’s prospects in Telangana: Bandi Sanjay

    No impact of Karnataka poll results on BJP’s prospects in Telangana: Bandi Sanjay

    Hyderabad: Bharatiya Janata Party State president Bandi Sanjay said Karnataka Assembly election results would not have any impact on the prospects of his party in the upcoming polls to Telangana State assembly later this year.

    Commenting on Karnataka poll results here on Saturday, Sanjay said the situation and issues in Karnataka were different, hence comparing it with Telangana was not correct. “We lost in Karnataka. That doesn’t mean that we will be losing in Telangana too. BJP is going to come to power in the State,” he claimed.

    He said the State Congress leaders dream to come to power in Telangana would never come true as the people would never accept them. “Congress indulged in communal politics to get the votes of minorities in Karnataka. The same thing is not going to happen in Telangana. Congress’ plan to polarise the poll will not work here. They will be pushed to third position,” he said.

    The Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) would be joining hands with Congress, Communists, AIMIM and other parties in the upcoming assembly polls to the State to defeat BJP, he alleged. “I am not saying this. Congress leaders are saying. We are not worried about this as people are with BJP. We have won four Lok Sabha seats and three assembly seats. Our vote percentage has been increasing since 2014. This time we are expecting to come to power,” he said.

    BJP promises to fill 2L govt job vacancies in Telangana

    HYDERABAD: Slamming the BRS government over the TSPSC paper leak issue, Telangana BJP president Bandi Sanjay Kumar has said his party would fill up two lakh job vacancies and annually release ‘job calendars’ if it came to power in the state.

    Addressing a ‘Nirudyoga March’ (March in support of the unemployed) organised by BJP at Sangareddy town near here on Thursday, he alleged that several family members of Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao have got jobs during BRS rule, but unemployed youth are in dire straits.

    He demanded that the BRS government order an investigation by a sitting judge into the “leak” of question paper of a recruitment test conducted by the Telangana State Public Service Commission (TSPSC). He sought ex-gratia of Rs 1 lakh each to the aspirants who suffered loss due to the alleged paper leak.

    Sanjay Kumar, Lok Sabha member from Karimnagar, also demanded removal of IT Minister K T Rama Rao from his post for his alleged failure in the paper leak.

    Expressing confidence that the BJP would come to power in the Legislative Assembly polls scheduled to be held in the state later this year, he said the process to fill up two lakh vacancies as per the report of the Biswal Committee appointed by the state government earlier would be started soon after assuming office. He said a ‘job calender’ containing details of vacancies would be released every year and recruitment taken up. The BJP leader hit out at the government for allegedly being unable to pay salaries to employees on time, implementing farm loan waiver and providing relief to farmers hit by unseasonal rains.

    Sanjay Kumar announced that similar ‘Nirudyoga March’ events would be organised at Khammam, Adilabad and Nizamabad and finally “with lakhs of people’ at Hyderabad.
