BRS working president and former minister K.T. Rama Rao has asserted that his commitment to the development of Telangana goes beyond political power.

“India First, Telangana First, is not just a slogan but it’s our policy direction,” he said, reaffirming his dedication to promoting Telangana’s interests on global platforms.

Speaking at the inauguration of the Pragmatic Design Solutions Limited (PDSL) Knowledge Centre at the University of Warwick, United Kingdom, on Saturday, he commended the PDSL, describing its growth as a symbol of Telangana’s rising talent and global relevance. “It’s a matter of immense pride that youth from Telangana are playing key roles in global entities,” he said.

Taking the opportunity to highlight the previous BRS Government’s contribution in transforming Hyderabad into one of India’s premier automotive hubs, he stated that Hyderabad stood shoulder-to-shoulder with Pune and Chennai as a leading centre for the automotive industry. He credited this transformation to the party’s progressive industrial policies and visionary planning.

Mr. Rama Rao stressed that Telangana must aim to become the number one destination for automobile manufacturing as well. He reminded the audience that Telangana was the first Indian State to host the prestigious Formula E Championship, which underscored the State’s commitment to innovation in the mobility sector.

He noted how Telangana emerged as a magnet for global investments during the party’s tenure in office. He asked India’s youth and industries to adapt to the rapidly changing global landscape. To stay ahead, constant upskilling was essential, he suggested and urged educational institutions, companies and governments, to invest in skilling and re-skilling programmes that respond to future challenges.
