Hyderabad: Chief Minister Revanth Reddy led the state’s Public Administration Day celebrations by paying tribute to martyrs at Gun Park and hoisting the national flag at Public Garden. This event is significant as it commemorates the historic moment in 1948 when Telangana gained freedom from feudal rule. The day is observed on September 17 every year.
In his speech, CM Revanth Reddy highlighted the sacrifices made by freedom fighters like Doddi Komarayya. He emphasized that the struggle for Telangana was not just about regional or communal issues, but rather a fight for freedom and self-respect. To set the tone, he started his address by quoting lines from a poem by Dasarathi Krishnamacharya, which criticized the oppressive rule of the Nizam.
The Chief Minister stressed that September 17 should be celebrated as a day of victory for the people of Telangana, rather than being a point of political debate. He criticized efforts to politicize the day and urged everyone to focus on the historical importance and the achievements of the people of Telangana.
CM Revanth also addressed concerns about the state’s development. He clarified that his trips to Delhi are aimed at advocating for the state’s rights, not for personal reasons. He spoke about the transformation of Hyderabad, mentioning efforts to protect lakes and fight drug-related issues. He also criticized those who were obstructing progress and urged citizens to support key projects, such as the Hyderabad Water Supply and Sewerage Board’s initiatives.
In conclusion, CM Revanth reaffirmed his dedication to promoting the interests of Telangana and preserving its natural and cultural heritage.
