Addressing a massive gathering at Khammam Chandrababu Naidu said that he always worked with a vision keeping the better future of the people of the two Telugu States. Listing out the developmental works that he initiated in Hyderabad, other parts of the two Telugu States, Chandrababu said that how hard work now has begun yielding tremendous results.
“I have struggled to make Hyderabad as a Information Technology (IT) corridor only with a view that the youth should get better employment thus earning more. Now, you all know the reality of how the youth in Telugu States getting jobs not only in the country but across the globe,” Chandrababu Naidu said.
Stating that it is the TDP that encouraged the Backward Classes (BCs) to come into politics, he said that the founder of the party, the late NT Rama Rao, was solely responsible for several persons joining politics who are now most renowned leaders in the Telugu States. “It was late NT Rama Rao, who introduced several welfare measures like the Rs 2 a kag rice, subsidised power supply and housing for the poor, for the uplift of the downtrodden sections of society which helped them grow well,” Chandrababu narrated.
Maintaining that the TDP is completing 40 years and will make a new beginning for a better future, the former chief minister called upon the public and the party leaders in Telangana to work hard for bringing the past glory to the TDP. “We now need to bring back the fame and reputation to the TDP as the people now want the State to progress,” Chandrababu observed.

There is an uproarious response from the massive gathering when he asked whether they want the TDP to lead the State again. The former chief minister said that the huge gathering for this meeting is a fitting reply to those who say that the TDP no longer exists in Telangana.
