00:00At the time of reorganization, post the reorganization act getting passed, Telangana was revenue
00:12surplus. Today, it is, I'm sorry to say I'm not picking on any one state, every state
00:20has its issues. But today, the debt that Telangana is in, despite the measures taken by the state
00:29and taken by the central government. I will read this out and I'm not blaming this party
00:34or that party, I repeat, but AP reorganization act and to that extent Telangana, what it
00:42should get. I will point by point say, some of which I'll say with your permission, sir.
00:49I mentioned about Kakatiya Mega Textile Park, Zahirabad as a corridor nodal point, then
00:58Sammakka Sarakka Central Tribal University, part of the reorganization act. The foundation
01:05stone also has been laid for aims in BB Nagar, close to Varangal. Roadways, 2,605 kilometers
01:15of national highway constructed in Telangana since 2014, AP reorganization act. Four greenfield
01:24corridors being built under Bharat Mala project in Telangana. Railways, record railway budget
01:32allocation of 5,337 crores. Since June, 2024, union cabinet approved new lines between Erupalem
01:44and Namburu and between Malkangiri and Pandurangapuram. Constructed 753 kilometers of new tracks
01:54in Telangana since 2014. Five Vande Bharat trains introduced and started from Telangana.

02:172 lakh houses being built under PM Abbas Arban, completed. 31 lakh household toilets constructed

03:15district development for nine districts, all Telangana. Srimati Indira Gandhi had contested
03:23from Medak constituency. She won from Medak, represented that constituency. But who has
03:34given the first railway station for Medak? Prime Minister Modi. Who has helped revive
03:41that Ramagundam, sir, for Telangana? Prime Minister Modi. The capacity of Ramagundam,
03:47sir, after the revival is 12.7 lakh metric tons, also for the record. No state has been ignored
03:57under Prime Minister Modi. One other right point for Telangana, sir, I missed out on saying,
04:02I seek your indulgence. Turmeric, which is produced in Telangana, is one of the classiest
04:11ones. One of the very good quality turmeric produced in Telangana.
04:16Who gave the turmeric board? Located in Nizamabad, Prime Minister Modi, sir.
04:22With due respect to the honourable member who is feeling so charged about Telangana,
04:34we are here also equally charged for Telangana, but we show it in action and not by just raising
04:41the questions. So, for every question that is asked, sir, because it's an emotional issue,
04:51we are also responding by action rather than keep raising the issue. We are showing action, sir.
