‘Govt. considerate to States’ legitimate rights needed at Centre’
Making public the plans of Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) to play a role in politics at national level, Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao announced that TRS was ready to influence national politics and had sought blessings of people at Jangaon.
Addressing a public meeting at Jangaon on Friday after inaugurating the party office and integrated district offices complex as part of his districts’ visit, he said TRS Government in the State did not confront the Centre in eight years of Telangana formation although it denied projects, discriminated in devolution of funds and not fulfilled promises made in the bifurcation Act.
“We led the State’s progress with our own resources, ways and means”, Mr. Rao said and alleged that the Centre, however, had been trying to victimise the State now for not toeing its anti-people and anti-farmer line. He also announced that he would soon undertake visit to constituencies to awaken people on State’s interests.
