All set for glorious fete of TS Formation Day

Other Chief Ministers are inquisitive about the unparalleled, marvellous and ‘never before and nowhere’ development and welfare that has taken place in Telangana, and the state becoming a role model in the country. Maharashtra which had a better foundation than Telangana has no clue as to how this has been made possible. Madhya Pradesh BJP Chief Minister confessed that pressure is mounting on him from people to replicate Telangana schemes

The 21-day decennial celebrations of Telangana State formation will be formally launched on June 2, 2023, aptly showcasing State welfare and development in a big way, thus decided the State Cabinet at the meeting chaired by Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao in the new Secretariat on May 18, 2023. Earlier, on May 13, he had asserted that, ‘now we are guide to India in every aspect’ and hence ‘let us celebrate’ State formation anniversary in a befitting manner, showcasing the rapid strides made by the State in the last 9 years. These include increase in GSDP, annual Budget Estimates, per capita income etc. As a matter of fact, it is a “mercuric rise” as three out of 9 years had been badly affected by demonetization and coronavirus crises. Thus, in a record six years, Telangana emerged as one of the richest States of India.

CM KCR will relate in vivid details the Telangana State achievements and lay out a road map for the future, at a glittering assembly of ministers, MLAs and officials numbering about 25,000 at the sprawling lawns of the new Secretariat on June 2, 2023. Ministers will follow this up with similar programmes in their respective district headquarters.

Other Chief Ministers are inquisitive about the unparalleled, marvellous and ‘never before and nowhere’ development and welfare that has taken place in Telangana, and the state becoming a role model in the country. Maharashtra which had a better foundation than Telangana has no clue as to how this has been made possible. Madhya Pradesh BJP Chief Minister confessed that pressure is mounting on him from people to replicate Telangana schemes. In the review meeting sharing these, CM KCR cited examples of some departments for the day-wise demonstration of achievements suggesting, similar exercise could be done for other departments too. Due to development of agriculture, a large number of people are getting livelihoods. CM KCR went on elaborating success after success in every sector.

Telangana becoming the power surplus state with 100% growth and also the per capita power consumption increasing rapidly would be depicted.

Dalit Bandhu is a unique program and Telangana is the one and only State in the entire country implementing this and this would be prominently emphasized.
