HYDERABAD: Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao on Friday said that he was inspired by Mahatma Gandhi in giving priority to welfare schemes, implementing farmer-centric programmes and focusing on rural development. Addressing the concluding ceremony of Swatantra Bharata Vajrotsavalu at the HICC, KCR said that developmental programmes would be continued and the fruits of development shared among the poor.
“Gandhiji said India’s soul lives in its villages. The State government had been trying to improve the living standards in the villages,” KCR said. He said that villages, towns, agriculture, industry, IT, Dalits, tribals, minorities and upper-caste poor are being given equal importance in the State.
“That is why Telangana stands as a role model in the country. The development model will be continued further,” KCR said. He recalled that the fight for a separate Telangana state was non-violent, a path shown by Gandhiji.KCR said that the State government has found a solution to the agrarian crisis, introduced schemes like Rythu Bandhu and developed villages.
