Addressing the crowd, he said, “We have achieved 33 percent reservation law for women in legislatures. Many national highways have been constructed in Telangana. With the construction of highways, Telangana’s connectivity with all states has increased. With the projects now undertaken, connectivity will increase between Maharashtra, Telangana, and Andhra Pradesh.”
“One of the five textile parks to be built in the country has been allotted to Telangana. The textile park to be built at Hanamkonda will increase employment opportunities for the people of Warangal and Khammam,” he added.
PM Modi said the new tribal university would be named after the tribal deities Sammakka-Sarakka.
