Humble thanks to every official of the state government for realising the aspirations of the entire Telangana people. Towns and villages have been developed. The efforts put by the officials created wonders in the state administration.
Dr BR Ambedkar‘s message for the development of all sections is a big inspiration to the state government. We fought peacefully by following Gandhian ideology and achieved separate Telangana state. The Architect of Indian Constitution DR BR Ambedkar’s vision of enshrining article 3 in the constitution helped the creation of Telangana state.
The giant statue of DR Ambedkar adjacent to the State Secretariat will always inspire the state government officials who discharge their duties to fulfill the aspirations of the people.
During the Telangana movement , many anti Telangana forces created trouble After the formation of Telangana, many debates took place. Political rivals raised many doubts and criticized on against the government’s vision and plan to reconstruct the new state of telangana.
Some Political”Lilliputs” (enemies) created hurdles to the construction of the new Secretariat by demolishing the old building in the same place.
