Hundreds of hoardings with welcome messages for Prime Minister Narendra Modi showed that Telangana spared no effort to make this an impressive show. While speaking at a public meeting in Medak district after PM Modi launched Telangana's drinking water programme `Mission Bhagiratha' and other projects, CM KCR said, "We are not demanding Rs 50,000 crore or Rs 1 lakh crore because we know governments have their own limitations. We demand your love for this state and your blessings for every initiative by this youngest state." KCR also urged the PM to declare one irrigation project of the state as a national project.

 

He also sought the Centre's help for `Mission Kakatiya', under which the government plans to restore 45,000 irrigation tanks. KCR also demanded an all-India institute, an All Indian Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) and help to make the proposed Information Technology and Investment Region (ITIR) in Hyderabad a reality. He told Modi that Telangana was set to become the No.1 IT exporter in the country with software exports of Rs 75,000 crore. He said 2,303 industrial projects involving investment of Rs 46,000 crore were cleared under the new industrial policy. Meanwhile he also praised the Prime Minister for leading a corruption free government at the centre. "The credit for running the corruption-free government goes to Modi. This will go down in history."
