He said rural Telangana reflected the aspirations of Gandhi’s ‘Gram Swarajya’ by strengthening irrigation, agriculture and rural economy by reviving traditional occupations and by bringing smiles on the faces of senior citizens by extending Aasara pensions.

Chandrashekhar Rao said the befitting tribute to Gandhi was to adopt his principles and activities as a way of life and move forward with self restraint and observance.
