Caretaker Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao while addressing the ‘Praja Ashirvada Sabha’ at the University Arts college ground in Hanamkonda said “Former chief minister of AP, N. Kiran Kumar Reddy had said that Telangana would go dark if it was made a separate state. Today I am proud to share that AP does not have 24x7electricity as we do in Telangana.
Telangana topped the list of states in terms of per capita power use.” KCR said, “The contribution of Warangal to the statehood agitation is immense. The people of Warangal have responded to every call given by me and ensured that the Telangana flag fluttered respectfully. That special place will always be there.”
Speaking on the occasion, KCR said that Telangana is now faced with the challenge of saving its self-respect. Appealing to voters of Warangal West, he said that the Congress has brought a TD candidate to defeat TRS. He shared that the government of India declared Telangana state as being ahead of Andhra Pradesh in many parameters.
According to him, the state has seen a rise in financial resources over the past four years. It is currently 17.17 per cent, ahead of many states in the country. The annual income of the state has also increased from `12,000 crore to `15,000 crore, he noted.
