Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao, who was unanimously elected as the Telangana Rashtra Samiti (TRS) president for the 9th term, exuded confidence that the party will return to power with even bigger majority as the people of Telangana were with the party.
Inaugurating the 16th Plenary of the party at Kompally near Hyderabad on Friday, KCR urged the party workers to be ready for the next elections due in two years time and take the message of the party to each and every household in the State. “With an impressive record of service to the people we will return to power for another term,” KCR declared.
He announced that the membership strength of TRS had reached a record 75 lakhs making it one of the biggest regional parties in the entire country.
“The work our Governm-
ent has done during last three years is unprecedented. We have allocated Rs 40,000 crore for the welfare programmes which is unparalleled,” he said while listing out various welfare schemes. His Government’s emphasis was on strengthening the rural economy. “It will be possible only if the farmers’ lot improves. We will take measures to ensure that the farmers become the king,” he said.
KCR said that the Government was working with the target of irrigating 1 crore acres of land and providing Rs 4,000 input subsidy per acre for the two crops.
