Hyderabad: Chief Minister Revanth Reddy on Sunday has expressed concern that southern states may face penalties for their successful implementation of family planning measures. He urged all southern states to come together to safeguard their constitutional rights and address issues such as ‘one nation, one election,’ accusing the BJP government at the Centre of promoting its agenda.
Revanth said he was ready to take the lead, if necessary, on behalf of southern states to question the Centre on the injustice being meted out to them. He was speaking at an event in Thiruvananthapuram.
The CM claimed that the true motive behind Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s ‘one nation, one election’ (ONOE) initiative is to establish a single-party and single-person rule.
To a query about unity among the opposition leaders and the INDIA bloc, the CM said as there was no unity among the opposition parties, BJP was benefiting and cited examples of Haryana and Delhi, where both AAP and Congress fought separately.
He also said that Congress did not disrespect or ignore the services of former PM PV Narasimha Rao.
“Telangana has been witnessing all-round development. My question is why Telangana is not getting support from the Centre when it i achieving many milestones. If Telangana becomes a one-trillion dollar economy, is it not beneficial for India’s growth? The Centre is not supporting non-BJP-ruled states, especially southern states,” Revanth said.
On Telangana’s development, the CM said Telangana Rising was not just a slogan, it was the dream of the people of Telangana. He hoped that Telangana would emerge as the best state not only in the country but also as a model in the world in the near future. The CM said now Telangana’s GSDP was about $200 billion, which was expected to reach one trillion dollars by 2035.
The chief minister explained the steps being taken by the govt to make Hyderabad a global city that would compete with major cities in the world such as New York, London, Singapore, and Tokyo.
Detailing the state’s growth, Revanth Reddy said the previous BRS govt did nothing during their nearly 10-year rule and failed to fulfil the promises. After the Congress govt came to power in Dec 2023, it was focusing on both development and welfare schemes.
On welfare schemes, Revanth said Telangana was the only state that waived off farm loans up to Rs 2 lakh to farmers.
“Telangana is also the only state that conducted a caste survey, presented it in the assembly, and completed the sub-classification of SCs,” he added.
