The Biggest Political Rally Ever…

On agenda for the meeting was the showcase of the State Government’s achievements for the first four years of the State and its Government.

The Chief Minister took the stage and vowed that the people of Telangana would rule themselves with self-respect without bowing to Delhi parties. He cited the example of Tamil Nadu and pleaded to the people to not be enslaved by Delhi. He was quoted as saying, “Do you want to be enslaved to Delhi?”. “We are confident of forming a federal front without BJP and Congress”, the CM’s son and IT Minister said.
