Hyderabad: Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) working president KT Rama Rao (KTR) on Sunday, June 1, asserted the party’s commitment to Telangana’s development.
KTR showed confidence that the party would return to power in Telangana and BRS chief K Chandrashekhar Rao would assume office as chief minister. He highlighted Telangana’s remarkable economic growth, citing a 238 percent rise in GSDP since 2014 and the state’s leadership in agriculture, IT, and infrastructure. He pointed to landmark projects like the Kaleshwaram Lift Irrigation Scheme and welfare initiatives such as Rythu Bandhu and KCR Kit, which have transformed lives and reversed migration trends.
