Pvt investment, industrial growth twin engines for state's progress: CM
Addressing a gathering at Zaheerabad in Sangareddy district, the CM emphasised the importance of cooperation from the Centre for attracting investments and fostering development. He said private investments and industrial growth are essential to boost state revenues and sustain welfare programmes for the poor.
He outlined the Congress govt's vision of turning Telangana into a ₹1 trillion economy, while calling for people's support, cooperation of opposition, and Centre-state collaboration to accelerate development.
Revanth highlighted that the Congress govt had attracted over ₹3 lakh crore investments in just 15 months, focusing on creating wealth through industrial parks and strengthening key sectors like pharma and IT, which would also generate jobs for youth. "Only when industries and investments come, will we have income to fund welfare schemes for the poor," he asserted.

He vowed not to rest until major projects like NIMZ, Musi river rejuvenation, Regional Ring Road, Metro Rail expansion, and Bharat Future City were completed. "If needed, I'll go to Delhi 50 more times to get funds and approvals," he said, underlining the importance of maintaining cordial relations with the Centre for the state's progress.
He laid foundation stones and inaugurated projects worth Rs 494 crore. He also unveiled a statue of Sri Basaveshwar Maharaj, saying the Congress govt, inspired by Basaveshwara's ideals, is committed to social justice.
The CM announced Indiramma houses for 5,612 families affected by the NIMZ project and land acquisition with increased compensation. He criticised the previous BRS govt for "stalling progress and neglecting farmers, women, and youth."
The CM said he would do politics only during elections and devote full time to the development of the state.
Listing various welfare schemes, Revanth reiterated the govt's ambitious plan to make one crore women crorepatis, and said 60,000 govt jobs and one lakh private sector jobs had been provided in just over a year.
He renewed his appeal to former CM K Chandrasekhar Rao to attend assembly sessions and raise people's issues. Revanth recalled the association of Medak district with former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, who contested the Lok Sabha seat from there in 1980. He claimed Medak is synonymous with Indira Gandhi, as people recall the late PM's legacy.

Saikia: Ulfa-I victims' kin facing intimidation over Baruah's condolence calls
1 2 Guwahati: Family members of Ulfa-I personnel, who had lost their lives in the 'Myanmar drone strike', are experiencing police and Army intimidation for receiving condolence calls from Ulfa-I leader Paresh Baruah or posting their grief on social media, said Assam opposition leader and Congress senior member Debabrata Saikia. Saikia, who was visiting the party's general secretary of Charaideo district Bhoben Likson's residence in Sonari district, said, "Ulfa-I's military chief, Paresh Baruah, might have offered condolences to some of the cadres' relatives in Assam over the phone. Some of these relatives expressed their grief on social media over the loss of their family members in the drone attack. Now, these relatives are reportedly being harassed by Assam Police and the Indian Army for either communicating with Baruah or for their social media posts. They are being falsely accused of having links with Ulfa-I and are imprisoned." Saikia urged CM Himanta Biswa Sarma to request the central govt to "not to harass innocent Assamese families in this manner." He said the CM had previously admitted in a press conference on Jan 1, 2024, that he communicated with Baruah on a quarterly basis. "Despite publicly announcing his contact with Paresh Baruah, has Assam Police conducted any investigation against Himanta Biswa Sarma?" Saikia asked. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Unsold 2021 Cars Now Almost Free - Prices May Surprise You Unsold Cars | Search Ads Learn More Undo "Now, phone calls made to offer condolences to the families of the deceased cadres are being used as evidence to label people as anti-national, leading to their persecution. Small business owners, farmers and others are being falsely accused of maintaining contact with Ulfa-I and are being imprisoned," Saikia said. Earlier, authorities had detained Likson while he was travelling to join a rally near Guwahati, which featured Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge and leader Rahul Gandhi. Later, he was arrested for allegedly showing his support for 'anti-national' activities through Ulfa-I associations.
