He shared a report released by the Union Ministry of Corporate Affairs where a notable decrease in new company registrations in Telangana was recorded. He pointed out that this decline adversely affects capital investments and employment opportunities in the State, leading to a decrease in both direct and indirect tax revenues.

He went on to criticise the Congress government led by Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy, for failing to achieve its goal of promoting startups and entrepreneurship despite initiatives like Startup Telangana. “This is the ‘MARPU’ (change) Congress has brought to Telangana,” he stated.

Meanwhile, BRS working president KT Rama Rao took a dig at the Congress government in Telangana over declining investments in the State.

Sharing data on fresh projects in the last six months, he congratulated Maharashtra, Gujarat, Karnataka, Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, Tamil Nadu and Odisha for securing top spots in attracting largest investments to their respective States in the order.

“Where is Telangana? Did they not count the Swach Bio and Adani investments?” he asked, taking a jibe at the Congress government in the State. The investments in Telangana during the first six months of the current fiscal stood at Rs.56515.87 crore and the State was ranked eighth among the investment destinations.
