Telangana Deputy CM emphasizes emblem should reflect democratic aspirations, culture, and traditions of the state, without feudal symbols.
Telangana Deputy Chief Minister Mallu Bhatti Vikaramarka has asserted that the emblem of the State should reflect the democratic aspirations of the people and imbibe the culture and traditions of Telangana.
Symbols of feudalism, autocracy and dictatorship should not find a place in the emblem, he said. The Deputy Chief Minister was speaking at the first meeting of the cabinet sub-committee constituted to finalise the State emblem, statue and State song here on Tuesday. Ministers Tummala Nageswara Rao, Komatireddy Venkat Reddy, Seethakka and Konda Surekha who are members of the cabinet panel attended the meeting.
Mr. Bhatti Vikramarka said the statue should reflect the common woman of the State. He wanted the officials concerned to invite noted poet Andesri and explain the need for some modifications to the Jaya Jaya Hey song, declared as state song, to reflect the contemporary times. Officials concerned should shortlist the names of eminent artists and intellectuals so that they could come out with designs for the State emblem and statue.
Mr. Nageswara Rao said the State emblem, song and statue should contain the elements that reflect the entire state. Mr. Venkat Reddy wanted the to contain images of iconic structures like Nagarjunasagar dam and others while Ms. Surekha suggested that the State emblem should be redesigned without hurting the sentiments of any community or sect and the state song should represent all the districts.
