Differs with Sanjaya Baru

May 29, 2015 12:00 am | Updated 05:55 am IST - HYDERABAD:

IT Minister K.T. Rama Rao has differed with a portion of Sanjaya Baru’s edit page article in The Hindu on Thursday, which said that the Chief Ministers of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana be less obsessed with building their capitals, saying it was impractical because Hyderabad was the engine driver to the growth of the economy in Telangana.

Hyderabad had acquired a new definition after it permeated into five districts. The government wanted to leverage the city to invite foreign investments because Telangana was not known to the world as it was a new-born State. In any case, the government allotted only three out of fourteen thrust areas – IT, life sciences and aerospace – for development in Hyderabad, he said.
