Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao said that if anybody is unable to see any change in Telangana since the formation of the State, they were either blind or acting blind as the State has made enviable progress in all spheres of life, and improvement of its performance on several indices is an indication.
Replying to the debate on short discussion – Telangana State formation, progress achieved in the own State – in the Legislative Assembly on Sunday, he said it was the Congress that was responsible for the merger of Telangana with Andhra Pradesh as also for all kinds of discrimination that followed for 47 years of rule by it and another 17-year rule by TDP and violated all agreements and assurances including Gentlemen’s Agreement.
“As a result, even farmers with landholding of 20 to 30 acres from areas such as Mahabubnagar, Narayankhed, and others had migrated to Hyderabad and plied auto-ickshaws and engaged in other petty works for livelihood,” he explained.
