Telangana government’s focus would be on developing social infrastructure, sporting infrastructure, education and skilling, healthcare, and nurturing entrepreneurship in the next term - KT Rama Rao,BRS Working President
What Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) government has delivered in the past six-and-half years, Congress couldn’t do in the previous six-and-half decades, BRS Working President KT Rama Rao said while speaking at a session organised by the Business Network International (BNI) in Hyderabad on Friday.
He said that prominent personalities like Super Star Rajinikanth and BJP MP Sunny Deol could see the transformation of Hyderabad but the opposition people were turning a blind eye to the city’s development. KTR said that there was a severe power and water crisis in the State during the Congress government. Over the past nine and a half years, under the visionary leadership of Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao, Telangana has witnessed an unprecedented transformation across multiple domains.
Speaking about his plans for the State, he said, “Telangana government’s focus would be on developing social infrastructure, sporting infrastructure, education and skilling, healthcare, and nurturing entrepreneurship in the next term.” KTR stated that there was a lot of tourism potential especially after many reservoirs were constructed in different areas. He added that the Covid pandemic badly affected the service sector and things were getting back on track as people were willing to spend by taking their friends and family out.
He appealed to young entrepreneurs to explore new avenues like religious tourism, medical tourism, spiritual tourism, health, sports, and wilderness tourism. “If BRS is voted to power, I will appeal to the CM to allot me the Tourism Ministry. This is one sector, which offers a lot of potential” KTR said.
The best thing about this sector was that the government’s investment would be minimal and many projects could be executed under public-private partnership mode, he said.
Citing the example of a 23-km exclusive cycling track on ORR, KTR said much more has to come up. Gandipet and Himayat Sagar could be developed without being polluted and more weekend avenues have to be developed around Hyderabad, he said.
Explaining the measures taken by the BRS government to support the small and medium enterprises, he said the Industrial Health Clinic was set up to help sick units bail out from stress. This was one of its kind entities in the nation. The agenda was to work with the management during the incipient stage and conduct a techno-economic study, besides working with banks on restructuring loans, he said. KTR stated that the first compliment investors or those coming into the city after a long time would give were about road infrastructure and sanitation. He recalled the words of Foxconn Chairman Young Liu where the latter during his meeting with CM had asked what was the Telangana government doing which has transformed Hyderabad city and it does not feel like India.
