T Harish Rao, a prominent member of the BRS and a
minister, has recently made several public remarks in which he has suggested that
seemandhra residents are moving to
telangana in quest of work. He claims that this shows
andhra pradesh, which is nearby, has not advanced or created many jobs. But when
himachal pradesh chief minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu brought up Telangana's unemployment at a recent
congress gathering in Jadcherla, Harish responded by pointing out that a sizable portion of Hispatians has moved to
telangana in
search of jobs.
Harish further emphasized the fact that residents of
hyderabad and eleven other states, including
andhra pradesh, migrate to
telangana in order to make a living, while also underlining the state's progress during the BRS administration of
chief minister K. Chandrashekar Rao. Harish must, however, also admit that residents of
telangana move to
andhra pradesh and other states in pursuit of work prospects. In reality,
people from
telangana move to places like Dubai, the
gulf states, the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, China, and other places.
People are free to relocate anywhere they choose in today's world of free commerce and a global economy. Migration from one state or nation to another does not signify that the original state or nation lacks opportunities for growth or employment. Where
people choose to live, establish, and carry out their livelihood is a matter of personal choice.
It is also important to note that BRS leaders personally organize transportation for displaced
telangana citizens during each
assembly and
lok sabha election, assuring their return to
telangana to cast their ballots. There is nothing wrong with Harish saying that during KCR's leadership, a significant development was made, but he should refrain from disparaging other states for his personal political gain.
