Minister for Industries, IT and Urban Development K.T. Rama Rao has asked the Opposition parties to show as to which section of the society is left out from the welfare and development sphere created by Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao’s nine-year rule and explained the need to celebrate the achievements.
Participating in several developmental programmes in Mahabubnagar district on Thursday, he said that there was every reason to celebrate the ongoing process of transformation of Telangana in its 10th year of formation and explain to people what had changed from 2014 to 2023 to improve the quality of life. “Back then, the hours of availability of power to consumers used to be the news and now, even a few minutes of interruption in power supply is news,” he said explaining the change.
Speaking after laying foundation stone for the Rural Micro Skill Development Centre set up by the Cyient Foundation in the Government ITI for Girls in Mahabubnagar, he said that Mahabubnagar, which had the reputation of migration of labour for more wages, had become synonymous with irrigation with minor irrigation tanks brimming with water even in mid-summer. “If the unprecedented production of paddy and pressure on the official machinery for its timely procurement was not a change, then there was something wrong with those talking about no change,” Mr. Rama Rao said.
