Panchayat Raj Minister K. Tarakarama Rao has ridiculed the promise being made by TDP-BJP combine of getting Central funds for development of Hyderabad if they win GHMC elections.
Addressing a meeting with IT professionals in Madhapur here on Wednesday, KTR said that TDP-BJP combine failed to get any funds for the construction of Amravati, the new capital of Andhra Pradesh. He said when TDP could not get funds for the State where it is in power, how could it get funds for Hyderabad. He advised the TDP-BJP combine to restrain from making false promises.
KTR expresses satisfaction over the pace of IT Sector growth in Hyderabad. As against the national average of 7%, the IT exports in Hyderabad have touched 16% this year. He said soon Hyderabad would become the IT capital of India. He said that the Telangana Government was providing all facilities to the IT sector in the State. He said both TDP and Congress have failed to develop the city during their tenure and therefore, TRS must be given a chance to rule the GHMC.
