TELANGANA, Apr 30: Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao today inaugurated the state-of-the-art Secretariat building in Telangana with great fervor and enthusiasm, marking a red-letter day in the history of the State.
The Chief Minister expressed his gratitude towards all the officials of the State Government for realizing the aspirations of the people of Telangana.
He also highlighted the struggles that Telangana faced in the past, including severe water crises and being considered one of the most backward regions in the country.
Quoting Dr BR Ambedkar’s message for the development of all sections, the Chief Minister said that the State Government fought peacefully, following Gandhian ideology, to achieve a separate Telangana State.
He also acknowledged the role of Dr BR Ambedkar’s vision of enshrining article 3 in the constitution in helping to create the State of Telangana.
The Telangana Chief Minister also praised the efforts of the officials in developing towns and villages, which has created wonders in the state administration.
He highlighted the Government’s vision and plan to reconstruct the State of Telangana, which faced criticism and doubts from political rivals.
The Chief Minister further said that despite hurdles created by some political “Lilliputs,” the Government did not take a step back and moved forward with the construction of the new Secretariat building, which is now one of the most wonderful government structures in the country.
The Chief Minister stated that Telangana has become a role model and guiding force for the country in the welfare and development sectors, and the giant statue of Dr BR Ambedkar adjacent to the State Secretariat will always inspire State Government officials to fulfil the aspirations of the people.
He also praised the State’s development, calling it the “reconstruction of Telangana.” He said that all the water bodies have been revived, and ponds are brimming with water even during peak summer.
He also mentioned the construction of the world’s largest Kaleshwaram lift irrigation scheme, which has helped to provide irrigation facilities in barren lands.
KCR, as he is popularly known, also pointed out that the State has addressed the crisis of fluorosis permanently, and potable drinking water is provided to every household through Mission Bhagiratha. The growth of villages and towns is phenomenal, and the state has won all-time record Panchayat awards presented by the Union Government recently.
The Chief Minister also highlighted the growth of the IT sector in Hyderabad, which is surpassing Bengaluru, and the efficient police machinery that has ensured no law and order problem or communal disturbances in the State since its formation in 2014.
The per capita income of Telangana is the highest among all states in India, and per capita power consumption is also high, indicating good economic development, he said.
KCR thanked the contract agency, R&B minister, and engineering staff for completing the new secretariat building fast, and expressed his gratitude to all the workers from other states for their contribution in the secretariat construction.
He praised the Telangana State Government officials, who he said are an inspiration to the country, and the Dharanai portal, which is doing wonders in addressing land issues.
