While launching a strident attack on the Opposition parties for not seeing the reconstruction of Telangana post-bifurcation of the erstwhile Andhra Pradesh, Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao has asserted that the focussed approach of the government had ensured that the State became a role model in the country in several aspects like per capita income and per capita power consumption.
Such critics who failed to see the aspirations of the people, re-dedication of the government machinery and reconstruction processes cried foul of the development that took place after formation of the State, the Chief Minister said addressing the gathering after inaugurating the new Secretariat complex – Dr. B.R. Ambedkar Telangana State Secretariat, only such building which received gold rating from the Indian Green Building Council – here on Sunday. Mr. Rao recalled how the State was in the throes of power and other crises in the erstwhile united State and said the government felt an imminent need to take up reconstruction activities to put the State ahead of all others in the country.
From a stage where nine of the 10 districts in Telangana were declared as backward by the erstwhile Planning Commission, the State has made rapid strides in development in a short span of nine years. As a result, Telangana’s villages have become role models to the country while Hyderabad is all set to overtake Bengaluru in IT investments and other parameters of industrial development.
