Governor of Telangana Shri Shiv Pratap Shukla ji, Chief Minister Shri Revanth Reddy ji, my colleagues in
the Union Cabinet G. Kishan Reddy, Bandi Sanjay Kumar, my fellow parliamentarian Konda
Vishweshwar Reddy ji, ministers of the Telangana government, other public representatives, ladies and
gentlemen!
The strength of Cyberabad is both national and global. It is a major center of Telangana’s and the
country’s rapid development. Therefore, today from Cyberabad, many major projects are being launched
to make Telangana a big manufacturing powerhouse of the nation. The projects whose foundation stones
and inaugurations have taken place today will create thousands upon thousands of new jobs here, and
Telangana’s connectivity will also be strengthened. I extend my heartfelt congratulations to the people of
Telangana for these projects.
Friends,
Today India is running on the Reform Express. At the same time, today’s India is also building modern
infrastructure. The construction of the Zaheerabad Industrial Area is part of this very goal. This industrial
area is part of the national campaign of the Government of India to develop industrial corridors. It is going
to become a kind of Industrial Smart City. Here there will be world-class infrastructure, excellent power
supply, advanced ICT network-meaning every facility needed for industry will be available here for
investors from around the world. Thousands of crores of rupees from the Government of India will be
invested in building these facilities, and thousands of youth of Telangana and Hyderabad will get
employment. The vehicles, machinery, food processing industries that will be set up here will also
empower the workers and farmers of Telangana.
Friends,
In the past, when India was one of the world’s largest economies, our textile industry played a major role.
Now we are strengthening that heritage once again. The PM MITRA Park in Warangal will accelerate the
textile revolution in the country. The units set up in the PM MITRA Park will get full benefits of the
central government’s schemes. They will also get support from the central government’s PLI scheme. This
textile park will create a large number of jobs. Many opportunities will be created especially for our sisters
and daughters.
Friends,
In the past 12 years, a very big priority of the Government of India has been modern connectivity. Be it
roads, railways, airports-unprecedented investment is being made in every mode of connectivity. Nearly
1.75 lakh crore rupees have been invested only in national highways. Telangana too has greatly benefitedfrom this. In the past 12 years, the national highway network in Telangana has doubled. The widening of
the national highway connecting Telangana and Karnataka will bring great convenience. Travel time will
be reduced and fares will also be saved.
Friends,
Before 2014, the railway budget for undivided Andhra Pradesh was less than one thousand crore rupees.
Revanth ji, are you listening? At the time of united Andhra, the railway budget was less than one thousand
crore rupees. Today I am not talking about united Andhra, today only Telangana’s railway budget itself is
about five and a half thousand crore rupees. Currently, railway projects worth about 50 thousand crore
rupees are underway here. Five Vande Bharat and six Amrit Bharat trains are also running in Telangana.
Friends,
Just a short while ago, some sections of the Kazipet–Vijayawada multi-tracking project were inaugurated.
In addition, the Kazipet rail under the bypass line has also been dedicated to the nation. These facilities
will make travel easier and speed up transportation.
Friends,
In the 21st century world, without energy, everything comes to a halt. Every person today feels the
importance of energy security. Therefore, our central government is making unprecedented investments in
India’s energy security. The inauguration of Indian Oil’s new terminal at Malkapur is a big step in this
direction. This terminal will meet Telangana’s growing energy needs and strengthen the supply chain.
Friends,
In recent years, India has reached the top among countries in solar power. Unprecedented work has been
done in ethanol blending in petrol. First we focused on 100% LPG coverage, now we are focusing on
cheaper piped gas, promoting CNG-based systems. Because of such efforts, India is facing this huge
global energy crisis strongly. But now the demand of the time is also that petrol, diesel, gas-such things
should be used with great restraint. These energy products that we import from abroad-we must try to use
only as much as needed. This will save foreign exchange and also reduce the adverse effects of the crisis
of war.
Friends,
Today the youth of Telangana are dreaming new dreams. The farmers here want to move forward with
new hopes. The industries here, the MSMEs here, the startups here-all want to play their role in building a
developed Telangana. Because when Telangana develops, India develops. I assure every family of
Telangana that the central government will continue to work at even greater speed to fulfill your dreams.
Now our Revanth ji said that we will not talk politics, so I too will not. Therefore, in a non-political way I
say to Revanth ji that in 10 years of governance, whatever the Government of India gave to Gujarat, I am
ready to give to you. But let me tell you from my knowledge that as soon as I do that, what you are getting
now will be halved. You will not reach where you want to go. Therefore, it is better to stay connected with
me.
Friends,
We firmly believe that in democracy, having different types of governments in states is not a bad thing.
But for the development of the country, the development of the states is equally important. Without the
development of states, the development of the country is not possible. Therefore, at the center of all our
plans is the development of states, rapid development, and with this spirit we all move forward together,
and see before our eyes the dream of a developed India in 2047 fulfilled. This is my wish for everyone.
Thank you very much!DISCLAIMER: This is the approximate translation of the PM's speech. The original speech was
delivered in Hindi.
