It will manage, lead and accelerate Eli Lilly's global operations,' Revanth stated, adding that the GCC growth in Hyderabad, in line with the Telangana Rising 2047 vision, will help the state achieve a US$1 trillion economy.

The city is the life sciences capital of India, with the presence of over 2,000 companies, he added. Revanth said that by focusing on areas such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), automation, cloud computing and software product engineering, the site will contribute to solving some of the world's most pressing health challenges while also creating growth opportunities for local talent.

BRS neglected irrigation sector during their 10-year regime: Bhatti
Hyderabad: Deputy chief minister Bhatti Vikramarka on Sunday said that Telangana's irrigation water needs are still being met by projects built by previous Congress govts on the Krishna and Godavari rivers. He added that the BRS did nothing for the development of the irrigation sector during their 10-year regime. "Not a single drop of irrigation water that rightfully belongs to Telangana will be given up. The state's interests are more important than politics. The previous BRS govt was responsible for allowing the Andhra Pradesh to take the Banakacherla project," he said after laying the foundation stone for the construction of 10,000-metric-tonne-capacity warehouses at Kamalapuram village in the Mudigonda mandal of the Khammam district. The warehouses are being built by the Telangana State Warehousing Corporation at a cost of ₹10 crore. He added: "It is because of chief minister A Revanth Reddy and irrigation minister N Uttam Kumar Reddy's effective presentation of arguments to the Union Jal Shakti Ministry in New Delhi that the Banakacherla project was halted."

When Polavaram was being constructed, they just watched. When construction of the Banakacharla project began, they showed no concern. In fact, they rolled out the red carpet for AP leaders and mortgaged the interests of our state. Even when seven mandals of the Khammam district were merged into AP through an ordinance that was not included in the Reorganisation Act, they failed to stop it." Bhatti said, "We are correcting all the mistakes committed by the previous BRS govt. We are moving forward with a concrete action plan to make full use of the waters of the Krishna and Godavari rivers and ensure that Telangana's rightful share will not be taken by AP."
