KCR to lead TS 8th anniversary fete
Telangana celebrates Formation Day today
Chief Minister K. Chandrashekar Rao will lead the celebrations on the occasion of the eighth anniversary of Telangana state formation on Thursday at Public Gardens.
Rao will also complete eight years in office as the Chief Minister on Thursday as he took oath on June 2, 2014, the day on which Telangana state came into existence.
All the ministers will take part in the celebrations in their districts. All eyes are on the CM’s speech in the wake of his confrontation with the BJP-led government at the Centre for the past few months and his attempts to play a key role in national politics by forging an anti-BJP front for 2024 Lok Sabha polls.
The CM will pay tributes at Telangana Martyrs Memorial at Gunpark and later unfurl the national flag at Public Gardens and address the state.
He is likely to respond to the prevailing financial crisis being faced by the
state government due to the Centre stopping loans to the state since April. He did not react to the Centre stopping loans to the state so far.
The government is celebrating State Formation Day on a grand note after a gap of three years. There were muted celebrations in 2020 and 2021 due to Covid which were confined to the Chief Minister hoisting the national flag at Pragathi Bhavan.
He is expected to highlight the achievements of the TRS government in the last eight years in terms of implementation of welfare schemes and development programmes during his speech on the occasion.
While the CM will highlight Telangana’s progress report of eight years, the ministers were asked to highlight district-specific progress reports in their respective districts.
