‘Statehood helped only one family’

Union Minister of Environment, Forests and Climate Change Prakash Javadekar has observed that the statehood to Telangana has empowered only one family and it is that of Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao. Speaking at a talk on “Towards Building Atmanirbhar Bharath - The Role of Graduates” organised by BJP Telangana in support of the party’s candidate for Hyderabad-Rangareddy-Mahabubnagar Graduates’ Constituency in the Legislative Council, he said people of Telangana were hoping to get empowered in different ways with the achievement of statehood. But, after rising to power on the crest of statehood sentiment Mr. Rao’s family had shared everything among family members leaving the people high and dry.
