Hyderabad: UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi, visiting Telangana state for the first time after it was formed in June 2014, touched the hearts of the people saying, “Visiting Telangana after four-and-a-half years of its formation gave me a feeling of a mother visiting her children after a long time.”
The crowd erupted in cheers when she said the words “Nellu, Nidhulu, Niyamakalu (water, funds and jobs) in Telugu. She said, “The state of Telangana was formed on the basis of Nellu, Nidhulu, Niyamakalu. But, the farmers in Telangana are ending their lives. The land acquisition Bill is not properly implemented. I was proud during my last visit as the women in Andhra Pradesh were happy. I didn’t find it now. Not even Dalits and other communities are happy.”
Continuing on the theme, she said the future of a child depended on how parents reared them. “Telangana is a child, and the TRS government has damaged Telangana and it’s future. The upcoming elections are the future of Telangana. The people of Telangana should vote for Mahakutami parties with the same revolutionary spirit that was present during the Telangana movement. You should think, analyse and should vote for the Mahakutami.”
