Telangana developed in all spheres: TGV

The Rayalaseema Hakkula Ikya Vedika convenor and Kurnool MLA, Mr T.G. Venkatesh, said that Telangana had developed better than Andhra and Rayalaseema regions in the state.
Speaking to newsmen here on Tuesday, he said that the Telangana Rashtra Samiti (TRS) demanded a separate Telangana state by citing backwardness in the region but official figures indicated that development in the region was better off than in the Rayalaseema and An-dhra regions.
He said that districts surrounding Hyderabad had witnessed development and Telangana stood first in the state in the education, health, and irrigation sectors and in per capita income.
Mr Venkatesh said that the TRS leaders were making baseless allegations against Rayalaseema and Andhra leaders as they had realised that a Telangana state was not possible on the pretext of backwardness in the region. He alleged that there was support for the unified state principle in Hyderabad as TRS leaders had not contested the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation elections, as they knew that they would lose even their deposits.
He said that people were aware of the minister, Mr Botsa Satyanarayana’s comments and they would teach him a lesson. He said the Praja Rajyam and the Telugu Desam had changed their stand after seeing pro-unified state movement.
