The Story in Brief
Political parties in Telangana marked India’s 80th Independence Day on Saturday by hoisting the national flag at their headquarters and speaking about national unity and public concerns. Congress held its event at Gandhi Bhavan in Hyderabad, where TPCC president B. Mahesh Kumar Goud called for protecting constitutional values, secularism, democracy and social justice. He also said the State government was focusing on welfare, development, farmers, women and students.
BRS working president K.T. Rama Rao said villages still lack roads, electricity, water and schools, while farmers face irrigation problems. BJP-Telangana president N. Ramachandar Rao credited the Modi government with projects in the State and accused the Telangana government of withholding nearly Rs 12,000 crore in fee-reimbursement dues. He also criticised the proposed division of the GHMC into three corporations.
The Indian Opinion
The familiar political script was on display: Congress defended its record, BRS listed unfinished development, and the BJP promoted Union projects while attacking the State government. None of these claims should be accepted as a complete account. The useful test is delivery, not patriotic language: whether villages gain basic services, whether farmers receive irrigation, and whether the alleged fee-reimbursement dues are cleared with audited figures.
