The CM praised ‘Iron Lady’ for continuing Nehru’s legacy of strong leadership and introducing a slew of revolutionary reforms which benefited the people of the country.

CM Revanth Reddy remembered that Indira Gandhi made special efforts for the upliftment of the poor and women. “Inspired by Indira Gandhi’s words that ‘Women are the symbol of Indian strength’, the Telangana government is also giving top priority to women empowerment,” the CM said.

Promoting one crore women as ‘crorepatis’ is among the main goals of ‘Indiramamma Rajyam’.
