KCR vows to work for nation’s growth, welfare

Deccan Chronicle  

HYDERABAD: Chief Minister K. Chandrashekar Rao on Friday vowed to work for the betterment of the country since the incumbent government at the Centre had destroyed the social environment of the nation by whipping up communal and regional passions. He said Telangana state would have achieved more progress in the past seven years had the Centre performed at least half the work that the Telangana state government had accomplished. Addressing the gathering in Urdu, the Chief Minister said, "Like we have achieved Telangana state eight years ago and placed it on the top in the country in development and welfare, I want to focus on the country to improve the conditions. Stating that Telangana was the only state in the country which was shining with development in all sectors and the rest of India was in darkness, Rao said, "Prior to formation of Telangana state eight years ago, there was no power, drinking water and irrigation water. “Noted economists opined that if the Centre had performed at least half of Telangana's performance, our state's GSDP would have increased to more than Rs 14 lakh crore.
