Opinion: Modi has always failed Telangana #IndiaNEWS #News
By Krishank Manne
After a visit to Hyderabad and Chennai, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on May 28 landed in Gujarat to inaugurate the world’s first Nano Urea Liquid plant. Last April, Modi visited Gujarat to launch projects worth Rs 20,000 crore, including the laying of a foundation stone for the Global Centre for Traditional Medicine, which was shifted from Telangana to Gujarat.
It is understood that Gujarat is set to go to the polls but interestingly in just the last three years, Modi visited Gujarat 15 times whereas in 8 years of being Prime Minister, he has not visited Telangana even eight times. Is he only the Prime Minister of Gujarat or does he think that Telangana is not a part of India?
Niti Aayog’s Recommendation
The first time Modi visited Telangana after the bifurcation of Andhra Pradesh and as Prime Minister was on August 7, 2016. On that day he took part in the launch of Mission Bhagiratha, a Telangana government initiative and a brainchild of Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao. Mission Bhagiratha later inspired the Centre’s ‘Har Ghar Nal Ka Jal’.
The Niti Aayog recommended Rs 19,205 crore for the scheme of providing piped drinking water but the Centre ignored those recommendations. Being the first visit of Modi, the people of Telangana expected to hear from him about his development mission or roadmap for Telangana, but in the BJP’s public meeting at LB stadium, all he did was speak on politics around Sardar Patel. There was no mention of what his BJP-led government at the Centre would do for the betterment of Telangana and its people. Two years after Telangana became a reality and after two years as Prime Minister, Modi’s speech was a disappointment.
In 2017, thanks to the Global Entrepreneurship Summit, the Prime Minister visited Telangana, the second time in three years, that was when the government of Telangana also requested him to flag off Metro rail from Miyapur to Nagole, the due share of funds in Metro Rail from the Centre to Telangana is pending. This was the only event Modi participated in that year and did not address either the pending promises in the AP Reorganisation Act or the ones promised during poll campaigns.
The following year 2018 saw Narendra Modi taking time out for Telangana in back to back meetings at Nizamabad, Mahbubnagar and Hyderabad, not surprisingly at all, it was for the Telangana Assembly election campaign. At Nizamabad, he neither spoke of the plight of turmeric farmers now their demand for Turmeric Board. At Mahbubnagar, he did not bring up the topic of feared granting national status to the Palamuru-Rangareddy Lift Irrigation project, which he had promised during the previous Lok Sabha elections.
