KTR pins hooliganism tag on Cong; says industries fleeing
Hyderabad: The BRS working president KT Rama Rao on Sunday alleged that the Congress leaders were threatening the Kitex company which has come forward to set up Textile Park in Warangal to provide 25,000 jobs and expressed concerns that there was a danger of industries fleeing due to hooliganism by the Congress leaders. The BRS leader made these comments while participating in the distribution of sewing machines and KCR kits to women in Parakala constituency as part of the Gift A Smile program on Sunday. Rama Rao alleged that Congress leaders were threatening Kitex, which has announced that it will provide 25,000 jobs in the country's largest Kakatiya Textile Park. 'The Congress' hooliganism to provide jobs to only those they recommend has led to a situation where industries are fleeing,' said Rama Rao, criticising that while BRS wanted to bring industries to the Kakatiya Mega Textile Park and provide jobs to the youth of Telangana, Congress leaders were conspiring to loot it vertically. The BRS leader further said that the estimates of Rs 137 crore prepared in January for the construction of a canal in the Kakatiya Textile Park have increased to Rs 297 crore due to the greed of Congress ministers and MLAs. The Congress leaders of Warangal district wanted to loot Rs 167 crore in the name of canal construction. He said that the looting being done by Congress leaders will not stop if they are not questioned and said that they will protest against these irregularities in the upcoming assembly sessions. KTR further said that KCR has done justice to BCs in the past, and he was the only one who would give due priority to the common people tomorrow too. He said that Congress MLAs and ministers would fall in line only if BRS candidates win with impressive majorities in the local body elections. KTR said that the state government owes Rs 50,000 to every girl child in Telangana. The Revanth government, which should have given Rs 3,000 crore to self-help groups was celebrating by giving only Rs 300 crore. He said that the Congress government gave Rythu Bandhu during Lok Sabha elections and now as there are Panchayat elections.

KTR pledges KCR kits to 4,910 new mothers in Sircilla under ‘Gift A Smile' campaign
Hyderabad: BRS working president KT Rama Rao has announced his decision to distribute KCR Kits to all 4,910 new mothers and their babies who had institutional deliveries in government hospitals in Sircilla over the last 18 months, as part of his 'GiftASmile' campaign, undertaken annually on his birthday. Taking to X, Rama Rao stated: 'The last five birthdays have been absolutely fulfilling for me personally with the launch of the #GiftASmile campaign. Year 2020 was a tough year for everyone around the globe, and healthcare required much attention. So, under 'GiftASmile', with the help of my supporters, we managed to gift a total of 108 ambulances to various government hospitals in our state. In 2021, more than 1,400 custom-made tri-wheelers were provided to differently-abled brothers and sisters who needed them. We focused on education in 2022. We managed to provide 6,000 Samsung tabs in Sircilla district. There was a significant rise in the number of students who cracked NEET/JEE and other competitive examinations—something I will definitely cherish for a lifetime. Year 2023 also focused on education. We were able to assist 116 meritorious children from the State Home, Yousufguda, providing them with high-powered i5 Dell laptops and extending all necessary support for their training and coaching. During 2024, we observed an unfortunate rise in weaver suicides in Sircilla district. Thus, last year was dedicated to helping all those families affected by such tragic deaths. This year, I want to focus on progress, hope, and life. There have been 4,910 institutional deliveries in the past 18 months in Sircilla district. Each scheme introduced by KCR is certainly life-changing. But if I have to pick a favourite, it will be the KCR Kit. What is more life-changing than life itself?' Rama Rao added that 'what started as a small idea of avoiding bouquets on birthdays has now become an annual ritual that I truly look forward to! I am eternally thankful to everyone who has been a part of 'GiftASmile'.'
