He said that Minister Ajay Kumar aimed at making Khammam a number one city. He remarked that some people were making baseless allegations out of jealousy, as they could not see development.


 



In a trenchant attack on the BJP, KTR said that India's economic situation was similar to that of China in 1987, which surged ahead to a 16-trillion-dollar economy in the last 35 years, and said India was still lagging at a small 3-trillion-dollar economy.

He recalled China's declaration, which had said that it would compete with the countries that worked for the welfare of the poor, the country's progress, prosperity; and its competition was with the developed countries. He said that the people of India were moving backwards with debates on castes, religion, and other trivial issues. No god had taught us to fight in the name of religion, he quipped.
