New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi congratulated Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao on the birth of the 29th State of India. He tweeted, “India gets a new State! We welcome Telangana as our 29th State. Telangana will add strength to our development journey in the coming years. Telangana`s birth comes after years of struggle and sacrifices by several people. We pay our respects to them today. Congrats to K Chandrasekhar Rao Garu on taking oath as Telangana`s 1st CM. My best wishes to people for the State`s development journey.

Centre assures complete support to the people & Government of Telangana in taking the state to newer heights of progress.”
The Prime Minister’s congratulatory message to the Telangana Chief Minister is seen beyond the prism of strengthening Centre-State relations. On the day when Prime Minister Modi extended his hand of friendship to BJD supremo and Odisha Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik, who met him for the first time along with his 21 MPs at his South Block office, the Prime Minister also tweeted to Chandrasekhar Rao. However, he did not pick up his phone and talk to him as he was not invited by the Chief Minister to the swearing-in-ceremony.
Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu, on the contrary, has invited Prime Minister, Home Minister and Finance Minister to his swearing-in-ceremony slated for June 8. The BJP leaders, however, asserted that Prime Minister Modi would like to have stronger and healthier relations with KCR, not ruling out floor coordination with his party in Parliament. TRS has 10 MPs in Lok Sabha and one MP in the Rajya Sabha. In order to get an important legislation passed, the support of 11 MPs in the Joint Session of Parliament would help the ruling dispensation. KCR’s new-born State of Telangana is still in the incubation stage and would require financial and moral support of the Centre to stand up on its own.
