BRS Ex-MP Vinod Kumar Picks Holes In Vision 2047 Policy, Backs Global Summit
“It wrongly considers entire regions like Warangal, Karimnagar, Khammam and Nizamabad as rural areas”: Vinot Kumar
WARANGAL: Former MP of the BRS Boinapally Vinod Kumar has welcomed the A. Revanth Reddy-led Congress government’s plan to hold the Telangana Rising Global Summit, but criticised its Vision 20247 policy.
In a statement on Wednesday, Vinod Kumar supported the state government’s efforts to attract investments for economic development. He however expressed doubts about the successful implementation of such promised deals, saying the government has "no clear plan for grounding these projects."
Vinod Kumar questioned the government’s approach to development, particularly the Vision 2047 plan, which he alleged was unscientific. “It wrongly considers entire regions like Warangal, Karimnagar, Khammam and Nizamabad as rural areas.”
Telangana, he said, already possessed many industries and factories. The government must focus on “comprehensive, balanced development, including the growth of the agriculture sector.”
Vinod Kumar criticised the chief minister, saying he continued to make negative statements about the state’s financial condition. “Revant Reddy previously alleged that Telangana went bankrupt (Deevala teesindi) under the BRS rule. If the CM is genuinely planning major global summits, he should stop making comments that portray the state as being in deep debt.”
The former parliamentarian stressed that while it was the duty of the ruling party to attract investments for the state’s progress, the government must not mislead the public by building excessive faith in investment summits without clear plans for grounding such projects.
Vinod Kumar also advised the CM to avoid making “inappropriate personal comments” about political opponents. Instead, he must focus on the long-term development of the people.
Referring to the Future City planned by the Congress government, Vinod Kumar said expanding cities like Hyderabad required long-term planning. As the adage goes, Rome was not built in a day, he added.
