Hyderabad, June 09: Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy affirmed that he was taking the responsibility of developing one crore women as ‘Millionaires’ as the women’s role is crucial to achieve the economic goals set by the People’s Government.
Addressing a gathering of the women self-help groups today in the city, the Chief minister alleged that the opposition was conspiring to stall the efforts put by the government to the economic empowerment of the women. “We are undeterred by the conspiracies and striving with a goal of making one crore women as ‘crorepatis’ (millionaires). I am taking this responsibility for women’s economic empowerment. With the blessing of women, we will continue to run this government until 2034”.
The Chief minister noted that our culture is to revere women as Goddess Lakshmi. We regard the earth as Mother Earth, the country as Mother India, and the state as Mother Telangana. The CM remembered that Chakali Ailamma, Arutla Kamaladevi, and Mallu Swarajyam proclaimed our glory to the world.
Stating that former Prime Minister Nehru deserved the credit for granting women the right to vote and placing power in their hands, CM Revanth Reddy said that it was only the Congress party which provided women with opportunities to serve as Presidents and Ministers.
The Chief minister criticized the previous BRS government for not inducting even a single woman in the former CM K Chandrashekhar’s Rao’s government during the first five years of the rule. The BJP party had never appointed a woman as the party’s national President. The KCR government also failed to disburse the zero-interest loans due to women. The People’s government sanctioned zero interest loans soon after assuming the office in the state.
Women have excelled in roles such as ministers, corporation chairpersons, municipal chairpersons, and mayors during the Congress rule, the CM said that Sonia Gandhi introduced a bill in Parliament in 2013 seeking to provide reservations for women in legislative bodies. The CM was confident of Women will play a pivotal role in politics by electing 33 percent in the legislative bodies in the future.
The chief minister took a dig at the opposition parties for objecting to the free bus travel for women. The opposition took to the streets demanding the cancellation of the free bus scheme. Despite hurdles, we are continuing the free bus travel facility without backing down. Women are using the free bus service to pursue higher education.
The CM highlighted that, for women empowerment, the government entrusted the stitching of school uniforms to women’s self-help groups , operate petrol bunks and also encouraged the women group to establish solar power generation plants capable of competing with Adani. ‘Indira Mahila Shakti’ buildings were being constructed to compete with corporate offices. 106 stalls were set up in Hitech City to market products made by self-help groups. Self-help group products are also being sold online platforms Amazon and Flipkart.
Today is an auspicious day that rain god showered on us soon after the launch of 553 buses, CM Revanth Reddy asserted that priority must be given to all types of crops in agriculture and create awareness among farmers on crop diversification.
