Telangana governor Dr Tamilisai Soundararajan has at last got an opportunity to make a hard-hitting speech to attack the previous Bharat Rashtra Samithi government led by former chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao.
Addressing the first session of the third Telangana state assembly session, the Governor said in the last nine-and-a-half years, all the institutions have been destroyed.
“It does not augur well in a democracy where institutions indulged in individual worship. This is not a feudal rule,” she said.
Stating that the previous government had only confined itself to propaganda, Tamilisai said Telangana is breathing fresh air of freedom and liberty now.
“It has been liberated from autocratic rule and dictatorial tendencies. The people’s verdict unequivocally stated that it would not tolerate any repression,” she said.
Stating that the people in Telangana State have given a clear verdict to liberate themselves from the 10 years of repression in the recently concluded elections, she appreciated the collective wisdom of the people.
Tamilisai asserted that the people’s verdict in the recent elections has become a cornerstone for civil rights and democratic rule.
“The iron barricades that divided rulers from the people have been dismantled. I feel proud to say that the glass houses and obstacles have been removed and the true people’s governance has begun,” she said.
The Governor said the new government will take each village as a unit and plan accordingly for their development. Explaining the other priorities of the government, she said the government will fill up the teachers’ posts by conducting a mega DSC within six months.
She said the government had started exercise to clean up the TSPSC.
“We shall fill up two lakh vacancies within one year,” she said.
Stating that majority of the complaints received under Praja Vaani are land-related, Tamilisai said the government will place before the people the financial condition of each and every department by releasing white papers and show them the real facts.
She said Hyderabad’s topography would have undergone a sea change, had the ITIR project announced by the then UPA government in 2013 came into being.
