KTR raises concern over lack of support to IT Hubs under Congress regime

He raised concerns that Tier-II IT hubs, which were thriving under the BRS government’s initiative to expand Telangana’s IT sector beyond Hyderabad, are now faltering

Hyderabad: BRS working president KT Rama Rao criticised the Congress government for allegedly neglecting IT Hubs established by the previous BRS government across the State.

He raised concerns that Tier-II IT hubs, which were thriving under the BRS government’s initiative to expand Telangana’s IT sector beyond Hyderabad, are now faltering.

“Leave alone establishment of new companies, but the Congress government should ensure the existing ones do not disappear,” he remarked. The BRS had previously established eight IT hubs to promote growth in smaller cities, aiming to decentralise development across the State.

Charging the Congress with mismanagement of IT Hubs, he said the small and medium scale IT firms established in these IT Hubs were struggling to survive. He cited rising electricity and internet bills as reasons for companies shutting down, and urged the government to stop actions driven by political vendetta against the previous BRS regime.

“These IT Hubs were created with the intention of providing jobs to Telangana’s youth. I appeal to the Congress government to run them efficiently instead of letting them deteriorate,” he added.
