Hyderabad: BRS president and former Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao greeted people of the State and Telangana natives living across the world on the occasion of Telangana State Formation Day on June 2. He paid tributes to the martyrs who sacrificed their lives for statehood. Wishing that Telangana would continue its journey of progress, he wished prosperity, good health and happiness for farmers, workers and all sections of society.

In a statement, Chandrashekhar Rao recalled the Telangana statehood movement and its achievement through a democratic and parliamentary struggle after overcoming decades of discrimination and numerous obstacles. He stated that Telangana, which had once suffered neglect under united Andhra Pradesh, emerged as a model of development under self-governance and silenced those who criticised that people of Telangana were incapable of effective administration.

Pointing to the achievements of the previous BRS government, he said the State registered rapid progress in irrigation, drinking water supply, power, agriculture, education and healthcare within a decade of its formation. He asserted that the State had emerged as a national model in several sectors and credited the BRS government for transforming Telangana into a major agricultural producer through large-scale irrigation and welfare initiatives.

However, the BRS chief cautioned people to remain vigilant in safeguarding Telangana’s identity and progress. Reiterating that the BRS would continue to stand as a protective shield for Telangana, he stated that the responsibility of protecting the State from regressive forces rested with all sections of society.

Chandrashekhar Rao appealed to the present Congress government to ensure sustained development of Telangana by honouring its promises, focus on improving living standards and instil deep sense of confidence among the citizens. He wanted the government to give top priority to farmers’ welfare and agricultural development.
