G Kishan Reddy, the Union Minister of Culture and Tourism, hoisted the national flag to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the formation of Telangana state at Golkonda Fort. He paid respect to those who fought for the creation of the state. The Telangana movement is unique because people from all ages fought for its creation.
Telangana state was created with the collective effort of all sections of people, not by any single person or party. Former Union Minister Sushma Swaraj played an important role in achieving the state. Kishan Reddy criticized the ruling BRS government for not delivering on its promises and turning the state into a Mafia Raj.
Telangana state is drowning in debt, with borrowings of Rs 8 lakh crore from banks and other institutions. Kishan Reddy urged for introspection to ensure that Telangana is running in line with the aspirations of the Telangana martyrs and the separate Telangana struggle.
Kishan Reddy listed various schemes and development works, such as national highways, railway projects, and subsidies to the farm sector to support Telangana’s growth. He assured that the Centre, under Prime Minister Narendra Modi, is committed to Telangana’s all-round development. Finally, Kishan Reddy felicitated the family members of those who sacrificed their lives in the struggle for a separate Telangana state.
