Hyderabad: TPCC president Mahesh Kumar Goud on Wednesday said the Telangana Rising Global Summit delivered significant success and attracted substantial investments from both domestic and international sources.
During a media interaction at the CLP office, Goud remarked that the scale of the summit had unsettled BRS leader T Harish Rao. He questioned the volume of investments secured during the BRS’s 10-year tenure. Moreover, he invited comparisons between the Congress-led government’s two-year record and the previous administration’s performance.
TPCC credits Revanth’s leadership for growth momentum
According to Goud, the summit highlighted Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy’s long-term vision. He described it as a launchpad for Telangana’s economic growth and international positioning.
In addition, Goud announced that the state would fill corporation chairperson and board positions by the end of the month. The TPCC will also appoint new working presidents and campaign committees shortly.
When asked about his political future, Goud said the high command would decide on his potential candidacy from Nizamabad. Nevertheless, he expressed satisfaction with his current party responsibilities.
TPCC urges clarity from Harish Rao on employee matters
Goud demanded that Harish Rao state his position on pending employee-related issues. He accused the BRS government of administrative failure across multiple sectors. Furthermore, he linked K Kavitha’s recent corruption remarks to internal fallout over financial irregularities.
He called on the Chief Minister to initiate a formal inquiry into Kavitha’s claims. Goud also asserted that the Congress government had delivered four times more welfare and development than the BRS managed in a decade.
Additionally, he shared that Rahul Gandhi, Priyanka Gandhi, and Mallikarjun Kharge had sent congratulatory messages for the summit. He termed the proposed Fourth City and Future City projects as “historic,” stating that Telangana had captured national attention.
Congress points to governance gains, criticises BJP on EVMs
Goud highlighted that the Congress government under Revanth Reddy had prioritised both development and welfare. He cited the Metro Phase expansion and Musi river beautification as key projects under way.
He further stated that uncontested gram sarpanch elections were not routine occurrences. Ministers, he said, had ensured peaceful conduct of local body polls.
On Prime Minister Modi’s Vande Mataram comments, Goud accused the BJP of politicising the national song. He commended Priyanka Gandhi for recalling its historical context and noted that Congress had formally adopted it first.
In closing, he alleged that the BJP facilitated extensive EVM tampering during its rule. He credited India’s long-term progress to the foundational vision of Jawaharlal Nehru.
