Claiming that the entire country is in awe of the unprecedented progress achieved by Telangana in the past decade, Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao on Tuesday appealed to people to continue their blessings with full support so that his government marches ahead on the path of progress. He was addressing people on Independence Day at the main official celebration held at historic Golconda Fort here. With the Assembly elections in the state due in the next 3-4 months, KCR used the occasion to highlight the achievements of Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) government during the last two terms and appealed to people to bless the party with a fresh mandate. He said that the people of other states of the country are cheering for the development model of Telangana, which is helping the poor by giving equal priority to development and welfare. It is a matter of pride for all of us that the development model of Telangana, the youngest state, is now widely discussed across the country, said KCR, whose BRS is trying to expand in other states. He stated that although the progress achieved by 75 years of Independent India is significant, the aspirations and the expected goals have not been achieved yet. Though the country is endowed with natural resources and hardworking people, the resources are not being utilised effectively due to the rulers’ incompetence and lack of empathy, he noted. In spite of everything, people are experiencing hardships. The poverty is yet to be eradicated from the lives of Dalits, Adivasis, minorities and the weaker sections.
