Deputy Chief Minister Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka said that foreign representatives attending the Bhaarat Summit were asked to invest in Telangana, which is going to become a ‘model’ for the country.
He said the Bharat Summit is a way for the world to know about the development projects and social welfare schemes being implemented in Telangana.
Bhatti said that he had explained to world representatives how the Congress’s core principles are being taken forward by combining social justice and development.
Similarly, it was revealed that the representatives attending the summit welcomed the efforts made by the Telangana government in taking forward the global justice decision taken by senior Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, Bhatti said.
Addressing the media on Friday at the HICC Novotel Hotel where the Bharat Summit is going on along with Ministers D. Sridhar Babu, Ponnam Prabhakar and Congress leaders Salman Khurshid, MP Balaram Naik, former MP Madhu Yashki Goud and others, Bhatti said that the Congress is setting its direction through the Bharat Summit.
Bhatti said that during the Cold War, when the whole world was divided into two blocs, the then Prime Minister Nehru, along with some countries, launched the non-aligned policy.
After a long time, in the context of the growing economic, political and social inequalities around the world, the Congress is once again setting the direction through the Bharat Summit with the three basic principles of non-violence, truth and social justice, under the leadership of AICC President Mallikarjun Kharge and Opposition Leader Rahul Gandhi.
He said that delegates from around 100 countries had in-depth discussions on issues like gender justice, feminist future, fact vs. fiction, countering disinformation, youth and the politics of tomorrow, and multilateralism.
He described the Bharat Summit organised by the Telangana Government in Hyderabad as a historic summit.
He said that the representatives attending the Bharat Summit were informed about schemes like the plan to generate 40,000 MW of electricity by 2035 through the Green New Energy Policy, clusters being set up between the Regional Ring Road and Outer Ring Road, Future City, Musi Punarjeevam, Knowledge IT Centre, Indira Giri Jal Vikasam, the establishment of Young India Integrated Residential Schools, Rajiv Yuva Vikasam and others.
He said the representatives expressed happiness over the development projects and social welfare schemes being implemented by the state government.
The delegates from around 100 nations attending the Bharat Summit on Friday released a note saying that they were anguished by the barbaric terror attack in Pahalgam on April 22, which killed 26 innocent civilians and injured several others.
The note said, “We, the representatives of progressive parties from 100 countries, with the other participants of the Bharat Summit, Hyderabad, are shocked by the barbaric terror attack in Pahalgam on April 22, which killed 26 innocent civilians and left many others injured.
We express our solidarity with the people of India and unequivocally condemn the terror attack in the strongest possible terms. Such acts of brutality against peaceful citizens have no place in society and are a direct assault on the constitutional values of unity, peace, and harmony.”
