Hyderabad: IT minister K.T. Rama Rao, on Saturday laid the foundation for the biggest IT park project in the state, spread over 500 acres. Addressing a public meeting later, Mr Rama Rao held the Congress responsible for the backwardness of Mahbubnagar all these years and gave a call to the people to defeat the Congress in 2019.
“The Congress has become a destructive force in the state. They are trying to block any development or welfare programme being taken up by the TRS government by filing cases in courts. I request the people to defeat the Congress in the elections and pave way for the development of state.” Mr Rao said. Stating that Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao had given special focus to Mahbubnagar district, Mr Rama Rao said, “In undivided AP, Mahbubnagar district was famous for drought, with no irrigation facilities, and for the migration of people to Dubai and Mumbai in search of work. After KCR garu took over as CM, he speeded up irrigation projects and restored tanks due to which the district is now witnessing reverse migration, with people coming back to their native places to do agriculture. The number of buses leaving for Mumbai from Mahbub-nagar have now come down drastically. This is a major achievement for theTRS government.”
He said the government was focusing on providing employment to youth in IT and industrial sectors in the district. “The IT Park will go a long way in transforming Mahbubnagar into a major IT hub after Hyderabad. Investors are keen to launch their operations here as it is just 80 km away from the Hyderabad international airport. Local youth will get a lot of IT jobs,” Mr Rama Rao said. He urged people to vote for TRS for Mr Chandr-asekhar Rao to continue as Chief Minister and take up development and welfare schemes initiated by the TRS government in its first term to the next level.
