KTR asked BRS workers, and transport corporation workers and employees to organise celebrations at bus depots across the state.
BRS working president and IT Minister KT Rama Rao (KTR) on Tuesday, 1 August, called on party workers to take to the people the message about the slew of measures that Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao has taken for their benefit.
KTR said that the regularisation of Village Revenue Assistants (VRAs), taking the employees and workers of the transport corporation TSRTC on government rolls, and expansion of the Metro Rail across the city — key decisions taken at the state Cabinet meeting on 31 July — warranted celebrations all over the state.
He also wanted the party workers to focus on another policy that the Cabinet unveiled on Monday — that it would henceforth treat all orphans in the state as children of the state.
KTR, in a teleconference with MPs, MLAs, MLCs, general secretaries, and party district presidents, described the decision pertaining to the employees as historic in nature.
He said recognition of nearly 21,000 VRAs as government employees reflected Chief Minister KCR’s humane face. Similarly, the chief minister’s decision to take TSRTC staff on government rolls was a landmark decision.
He wanted the BRS workers, and transport corporation workers and employees to organise celebrations at bus depots across the state.
He asked the MLAs and the in-charges of the party for constituencies where the BRS has no representation to organise “Aathmeeya Sammelans” with the beneficiaries of the government’s largess to strengthen the bond between them and the party.
“The party workers should organise these ‘sammelans’ with the families of VRAs, TSRTC employees and workers,” KTR said.
Referring to the Cabinet decision to treat all orphans as the children of the state was also one of its kind, he said the party leaders should advertise the fact that no state in the country had such a humanitarian policy for the orphans.
The BRS leader said that, in Hyderabad, the decision to extend the metro rail to 415 km from the present 70 km should be publicised enough to help the party earn goodwill among the people.
They should focus on constituencies that would benefit from the expansion of the metro rail works. The metro project would keep Hyderabad head and shoulder above all other cities as it would strengthen the public transportation system.
He said once the metro rail project is in place, the out-lying areas of Hyderabad would also develop rapidly. The party leaders and workers should ensure that the people should know how their areas would transform with the expansion of the metro rail network.
I extend my sincere thanks to Hon’ble CM KCR Garu and my cabinet colleagues for resolving to expand Hyderabad Metro Rail connectivity to a whopping total 400 KM in the timeframe of next 3-5 years with an estimated outlay of ₹69,000 crores
