Minister for IT, Industries and Urban Development and president of Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) K.T. Rama Rao has demanded that Prime Minister Narendra Modi apologise to people of Telangana for betraying the tribal people of the State by not keeping the promises made to them in the Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Act.
Speaking after launching distribution of podu land (recognition of forest rights - RoFR) pattas to tribal communities at Mahabubabad on Friday, he said the Central Government led by Narendra Modi had failed to keep its promise of establishing a tribal university, an integrated steel plant at Bayyaram and railway coach factory at Kazipet even after nine years.
A large number of tribal people would have secured jobs in the tribal university, steel plant and railway coach factory. Mr. Modi had reiterated in Parliament that the Centre would establish a tribal university. The State Government had allotted 360 acres of land in Mulugu district and submitted documents to the Centre but it had failed to take it forward so far.
