Telangana is transforming into a hub for Buddhist tourism with ambitious plans to develop Hussainsagar Lake and Nagarjunasagar. These developments include a skywalk around Hussainsagar Lake, a four-lane highway to Nagarjunasagar, and a state-of-the-art Buddhist museum. This initiative aims to elevate these historic and spiritual sites into world-class tourist destinations.
Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) president K. Chandrasekhar Rao launched a fierce attack on the Congress, claiming it as the primary antagonist for the people of Telangana. He alleged that the party has inflicted injustice and discrimination since 1956 by forcibly merging the Hyderabad State with Andhra Pradesh. According to Mr. Rao, the Congress government’s failure to release water for irrigation under the Nagarjunasagar Left Canal has led to crop failure, leaving farmers in a state of despair. He attributed the current issues with power supply and water management to the Congress government’s policies. Additionally, he accused Andhra Pradesh of diverting water from the Nagarjunasagar tailpond while depriving farmers in Nalgonda. While welcoming the National Green Tribunal’s approval for the Yadadri Thermal Power Project, Rao urged the government to expedite its completion. During his roadshow, farmers intercepted his vehicle to express their concerns about the delay in paddy procurement. Rao also highlighted the Congress party’s broken promises, stating that it has failed to fulfill any of the 420 promises it made.
