Siddipet: President of Hyderabad Cricket Association (HCA) and former India captain Mohammad Azharuddin has said that Siddipet was being developed on par with Singapore.
Azharuddin, who was the chief guest at KCR Cup cricket tournament final held in Siddipet Stadium under floodlights late on Wednesday night, visited Komaticheruvu, Ranganayaka Sagar and other places in and around Siddipet town.
After seeing the illuminated hanging bridge over Komaticheruvu, the former India captain compared Siddipet with Singapore. “Siddipet will become one of the best cities in the country since it is located strategically,” he said. When Finance Minister T Harish Rao explained about the proposed IT Hub, railway line, industrial corridor, Kaleshwaram Lift Irrigation Scheme (KLIS), the HCA president compared Siddipet with Singapore.
Azharuddin inaugurated a new boating facility at Ranganayaka Sagar during the same night and travelled in the tunnel of KLIS at Chandlapur. The former Indian wristy batsman and Harish went for a boat ride in Godavari water.
The former Indian captain has hailed Harish Rao as an all rounder in politics after seeing the development. Azharuddin has called upon the people to vote for Harish until he stays in politics. Earlier, Azharuddin had enthralled the audience with his wristy strokes at Siddipet stadium as local bowlers threw balls at him. Harish Rao has also bowled to him.
