Hyderabad, Aug.20 (NSS): Deputy Chief Minister Bhatti Vikramarka said that Hyderabad became IT hub due to former prime minister late Rajiv Gandhi as it was he who laid foundation for IT sector.
Speaking at the meeting organised to mark Rajiv Gandhi birth anniversary at Somajiguda Circle here on Tuesday, he said the government would take forward Rajiv Technology Mission.
Referring to the remarks of BRS leaders over the development of IT sector, Bhatti said,” should not the person who claims he had studied abroad and worked as IT Minister know who had contributed for IT sector development in Hyderabad?
“It was Rajiv Gandhi who brought mobile phone technology, encouraged dairy sector and milk production, gave voting right to 18 year-olds and created IT revolution, he pointed out.
Bhatti reiterated that all those encroachments of lands and tanks by some would be cleared by HYDRA as a gift to the people of Telangana.
Dharani software would be discarded as it was brought in with a vested interest by the previous rulers to solely benefit the rich, he alleged.
Lashing out at the BRS leaders for their irrational talk, Bhatti said there was no comparison between previous government that took 10 years to waive Rs one lakh loan of farmers and the Congress government that waived Rs 2 lakh loan of farmers at one go.
Dismissing loose remarks of BRS party leaders on MoUs entered by Chief Minister Revanth Reddy and Industry Minister Sridhar Babu during their recent visit to the USA and South Korea, the Deputy Chief Minister said that companies would come only when MoUs were signed.
“The Chief Minister has made these agreements to benefit the people. The Congress government leaders would not sit inside farm houses and forts and work for selfish interests like previous rulers,” Bhatti asserted.
Seeking blessings of people for the Indiramma Rajyam, Bhatti said the Congress government has prepared an action plan under Young India plan to make Telangana State to compete with the world.
He made it clear that the lands given to poor under the Indiramma rajyam would be restored to them.
