Siddipet: Industries Minister KT Rama Rao said while Telangana was a role model for entire country due to its welfare and development programmes, Siddipet was index for all districts in Telangana for its development. “When all the constituencies in the State witness holistic development like Siddipet, Bangaru Telangana and Bangaru Bharat would be reality in true terms,” Rama Rao said.
The Minister along with Finance Minister T Harish Rao inaugurated the IT Tower, which was constructed at a cost of Rs 63 crore here on Thursday. The Ministers also laid foundation for road works and launched the slaughter house.

Speaking on the occasion, the Industries Minister said Siddipet had not given a visionary leader like Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao to the people but it had also played a crucial role in the formation of State.
“Had you people not elected K Chandrashekhar Rao garu as MLA and MP, there would have been no TRS party and there would have been no agitation for separate Telangana,” Rama Rao said.
Siddipet has been the key in introduction of several welfare programmes in the State. When K Chandrashekhar Rao garu was local MLA, he launched Haritha Haram programme way back in 1987 by planting 10,000 saplings. It was here, the Chief Minister had launched Dalit Chaitanya Jyoti for upliftment for Dalits, the Minister reminded.
Chandrashekhar Rao garu also launched the piped water connection in the constituency in 1997 by supplying water from Lower Manair. Eventually, this initiative became Mission Bhagiratha programme in the State and BJP-led union government replicated it as Har Ghar Jal programme across the nation, the Minister explained.
Impressed with Swacch Badi (school), where awareness is created on the need to segregate dry and wet waste among the people, the Minister said one Swachh Badi would be established in each district headquarter this year.
Telangana with its integrated, holistic, inclusive and balanced growth in all sectors was a role model for the entire nation. Even today here in Siddipet, a slaughter house, IT tower, and other developments works were launched indicating that all sectors were being covered on the growth radar in the State, he said.
The Minister said with the launch of IT tower, 1500 jobs were provided to youth in Siddipet and assures that it would be expanded further in the days to come. Similarly, T-Hub unit would also be established here shortly, he declared.
“Last time, Harish Rao garu was elected with 1.18 lakh votes majority. This time, the majority should cross 1.50 lakh votes. Likewise, Chandrashekhar Rao garu should also be offered a hat-trick victory,” Rama Rao said amid cheers and whistles from the gathering at the venue.
Finance Minister T Harish Rao said though sufficient drinking water was provided, new roads were laid, industrial zone was established in Siddipet, there was a requirement for IT jobs here. With the launch of IT tower today, even that dream has come true, he said.
“If Telangana was not achieved, Siddipet would not have formed a district, River Godavari water would not be supplied and an IT Tower would not have been established. All this is possible due to the vision of Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao” Harish Rao said, adding an Autonagar would be launched in the district shortly.
Telangana was leading in all sectors. Right from Agriculture sector to IT and Industries sectors, the State was witnessing rapid development, he said.
While, Telangana was providing 24 hours quality power supply to farmers, industries and domestic sectors, power holidays were being declared in Prime Minister Narendra Modi‘s home State Gujarat, he said.
Opposition leader K Jana Reddy had said in the Assembly that it would be a miracle, if Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao could provide 24 hours power supply. Well, the Congress leaders were also witnessing the miracle in the State, he said.
