HYDERABAD: Wicked attempts are being made to disrupt unity among the people in the state and some persons are creating obstacles in every step of the State’s journey for their despicable political interests, Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao has said. ‘’We are facing the opponents boldly and continuing our journey bravely,” he asserted.
Speaking at the 72nd Independence Day celebrations at the historic Golconda Fort on Wednesday, the Chief Minister recalled that the attempts are being made to prove that Telangana is a failed experiment. “The new state has been continuing its victory march. We have overcome several obstacles,” Rao said after unfurling the national flag for the fifth consecutive year at Golconda Fort.
The Chief Minister said his government was working with one agenda - development. “We are overcoming the challenges in a dexterous manner and had always been on alert preventing untoward incidents for the stability of the state. “We are providing corrupt-free governance. The economy was put on tracks and achieved 17.12 per cent growth rate. Telangana is the fastest growing state in the country now,” the Chief Minister said.
“I appeal to the people to support me always to continue this victory march in future too. The blessings of the people is a real inspiration to me. I rededicate myself for the construction of Bangaru Telangana,” Rao said. “We have laid a strong foundation for the development in the last four years,” Rao said.
