It is your land, your country but I also promise you the best bang for your buck, the maximum returns, if you invest here. The satisfaction of partnering in the journey ahead will be a bonus - A Revanth Reddy, Telangana Chief Minister
Hyderabad: Telangana Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy captivated thousands of NRI supporters and members of the Indian diaspora with his characteristic flair on Sunday afternoon. He called on successful Indians living abroad to invest in Telangana, aligning with their hopes and expectations for growth and opportunity.
He addressed a huge gathering of the Indian diaspora in New Jersey as part of his visit to the United States and South Africa. “It is your land, your country but I also promise you the best bang for your buck, the maximum returns, if you invest here. The satisfaction of partnering in the journey ahead will be a bonus,” he said, to thundering cheers from the audience.
“I was here last year, and addressed you as the TPCC president. I had promised you that I will come back here again only after a Congress government comes to power, ending a decade of misrule and betrayals. I have kept my promise,” he said.
Listing the promises and guarantees fulfilled for farmers, youth, women, teachers and students so far, he said, “Free bus travel, free electricity, subsidised cooking gas cylinder, farmer loan waivers and input subsidies are just a start. We will keep every promise.”
Addressing concerns of balance in governance, he said, “We are going to pursue rapid, sustainable, future-oriented economic growth of epic proportions through matchless investor policies. Growth, augmented revenues, high jobs creation at varied levels of skills are equally in focus,” the Chief Minister elaborated.
“We have now made it a habit to defy naysayers. First they said Congress won’t come to power. Then they said it won’t last. Now they are trying to insinuate misapprehensions that growth may be slow. We will prove them wrong again. We will compete to develop Hyderabad not as a top city in India but the world.”
Speaking to the adulating audience, comprising several key members of the East Coast Indian community, Reddy said, “You have made America stronger and more prosperous with your skills. Now come to Telangana. The three-ring State gives you distinct metro, semi-urban and rural ecosystems to invest in.”
