He applauded and talked about various projects undertaken by the govt of Telangana under the able Chief Ministership of Mr. KCR, he further talked on how KCR garu's vision and determination is needed for making the state a Bangaru Telangana and requested T-NRI's to trust in the govt as nothing can be achieved or judged in a short span of 2 years as most of the issues are age-old pending issues such as Irrigation, Power etc. He also suggested T-NRI's to help be a knowledge bank and pass on the information about various innovative methodologies and best practices followed in different countries to the govt of Telangana in it's best interest.
