Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy has asked the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) and other parties to come along with the government (Congress party) in the matter of protecting State’s interests by setting aside politics since Telangana is not just a piece of geographical unit but an emotion of over four-crore people.
Replying to the debate on the motion thanking the Governor’s Address in the Assembly on Friday, he said the people had given a clear verdict against the 10 years of rule of oppression but the Leader of the Opposition appeared to not in the mood of accepting it as it was evident from his absence during the Governor’s Address and later during the debate on it.
He explained about the decisions taken by the government to change the State abbreviation for vehicle registration and others from the existing TS to TG, ‘Telangana Thalli’ (mother) statue with an imperial look to a woman like Chakali Ailamma who fought against the excesses of imperialism, the State emblem shedding the remnants of imperialism visible in it and recognising Jaya Jaya Hey Telangana... song penned by poet Ande Sri as the State song.
