Here are top quotes from PM Modi’s Telangana visit:
- “The government of Telangana is a car but the steering wheel is in the hands of someone else. The progress of Telangana has been halted by two family-run parties. Both of these family-run parties are known for their corruption and commission,” said PM Modi.
- “Telangana is a land of art, skill and culture. The products of Telangana are being celebrated in the world. Some days ago, I gifted a Bidri artwork to the President of South Africa. This has Telangana’s importance in the world,” PM Modi in Mahabubnagar.
- “India is a prime producer, consumer and exporter of Turmeric. Farmers of Telangana produce turmeric in huge quantities. After Covid-19, awareness about turmeric has increased and global demand has also increased,” PM on Turmeric exports.
- “Today, in Telangana, many projects are launched. I congratulate Telangana for the projects worth Rs 13,500 crore,” said PM Modi.
- PM Modi said, “The Indian government will establish a central tribal university in Mulugu. It will be named after respectable Adivasi women Sammakka-Sarakka Rs. 900 crores will be spent on it.”
- “The season of festivals has started. Navratri is about to begin but by passing the Women’s Reservation Bill in the Parliament, we established the emotion of worshipping ‘Shakti’ before it,” PM Modi said.
- “We are respecting our farmers. We are giving them the correct price for their hard work. Money is going directly into farmers’ bank accounts. There is no place for any middleman. This government of Telangana has only promoted corruption in irrigation projects.
- Attacking his political rival, PM Modi said, “These people are turning democracy into a family dynasty. Their party is run like a private limited company. The president, CEO, director, treasurer, general manager, chief manager, and manager all are of the same family. They keep some people from outside as support staff.”
