Shri Nitin Gadkari spoke at the meeting asking the Congress Government to place the Telangana bill immediately in the Parliament. The BJP/NDA will give full support to pass the bill. If Congress Government does not place the bill in Parliament, they have no right to stay in the Government as they came to power only on the promise of formation of Telangana both in 2004 and 2009. Nitin Gadkari also said that if Congress does not give Telangana, then BJP/NDA would give Telangana when it comes to power at the Center in 2014 or even earlier whenever elections are held. He said they would place the Telangana bill in the very first session of the parliament soon after their Government is formed.

He said BJP will implement inter-linking of rivers all across the country and try to ensure that gravity water is given to Mahaboobnagar through this program.
