Hyderabad: Realising that the Centre’s help in reconstruction of Telangana was a key factor, Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao reached New Delhi on Friday night with a wish list to be presented to Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Rao will also invite Modi to attend the celebrations the government proposes to hold to celebrate the formation of Telangana on a large scale sometime towards June end. Apart from meeting the Prime Minister, KCR is likely to submit a report with regard to eight districts which have been classified as backward districts by the Planning Commission and would seek liberal assistance for their development. He would urge the Prime Minister to accord special category status for the development of the backward districts.

KCR’s wish list includes allocation of additional power and extension of Metro Rail (from existing 72 km stretch to beyond 200 km). He would brief Modi about the impact of the ordinance transferring seven mandals of Bhadrachalam in Khammam district which would be submerged under Polavaram project to Andhra Pradesh.
He would urge Modi to see that the design of the project was changed so as to avoid submergence of the villages. The Chief Minister will also meet Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley, Water Resource Minister Uma Bharathi, Urban Development Minister M Venkaiah Naidu and Law minister Ravi Shanker Prasad. He would also make a courtesy call on the President.
Rao is likely to request Jaitley to see that the funds that the erstwhile state of Andhra Pradesh was getting from 13th Finance Commission are distributed between the two states, Telangana and Andhra Pradesh. His meeting with the Law minister, according to sources, is about the common High Court for both states, which the party and T advocates have been opposing from day one. Rao is expected to raise his party’s concerns on law and order in the joint capital vesting with the Governor, during his meeting with Union Home minister Rajnath Singh.
