Centre hijacking Telangana's achievements: K T Rama Rao

IT Minister KT Rama Rao on slammed the Centre for hijacking the achievements of the State government through misleading advertisements.

Participating on the eve of 131st birth anniversary celebrations of Dr BR Ambedakar held here on Wednesday, the Minister said: “In the 75 years of Independent India’s history, Telangana State was the first and only State to supply drinking water to all households under Mission Bhagiratha. The Centre has not given a single paisa for the project, but released huge advertisements with pictures of the Prime Minister giving credit to its ”Har Ghar Jal” scheme for the



achievement.”

He also emphasised the need for promoting positivity in society and pointed out that the media especially social media was being misused to spread hatred. “If somebody is using a public platform to scold Muslims, that video is shown again and again. There is Shoba Yatra on Sri Rama Navami. 

There is ruckus in that. Several Whatsapp videos are being sent. They scold each other and promote enmity. There is no use of such videos,” he said adding that despite the tall talk, India still was a poor third world country.
