Hyderabad, May 3 (IANS) A Bench of the Supreme Court in Hyderabad, remerging five Andhra Pradesh villages with Telangana and revival of the Information Technology and Investment Region (ITIR) project in Hyderabad, were some of the major promises made by the Congress party in its Telangana-specific manifesto released on Friday.
All India Congress Committee (AICC) incharge for Telangana Deepa Dasmunsi released the manifesto along with Minister for Information Technology and Industries, D. Sridhar Babu, who is also the Chairman of the Manifesto Committee, Advisor to state government Vem Narender Reddy and other leaders.
The ruling party promised to implement the commitments made to Telangana in the Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Act and 23 other promises made in the manifesto.
Sridhar Babu said that the manifesto has been released keeping in view the requirements of the state.
He said once the Congress comes to power at the Centre, all the promises would be fulfilled.
The party promised to set up a rail coach factory at Kazipet, Bayyaram steel plant, mining university, Indian Institute of Management (IIM) at Hyderabad and a rapid railway system beside the Hyderabad-Vijayawada highway as committed in the AP Reorganisation Act, 2014.
Five villages around Bhadrachalam, which were merged with Andhra Pradesh after bifurcation of the state in 2014 will be remerged with Telangana state in order to develop Bhadrachalam Sri Rama temple.
These villages were part of seven mandals which were transferred to Andhra Pradesh by the BJP-led NDA Government to facilitate construction of the Polavaram project by Andhra Pradesh across Godavari River.
