Telangana sets new benchmarks in development: KCR hits back at Centre

"Telangana has set new benchmarks in development since its formation. The state's GSDP was Rs 5 lakh crore in 2013-14. It's now nearly Rs 12 lakh crore," he said addressing the gathering after unfurling tricolor.

KCR unfurled the national flag on Telangana Jathiya Samaikyatha Dinotsavam (Telangana National Integration Day) to commemorate Hyderabad's merger with the union of India 75 years ago. He hoisted the tricolor a few minutes after Union Minister Amit Shah at the parade ground.
