In a speech on Thursday, Telangana Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao (KCR) warned that racial animosity could lead the nation down a path similar to that of Afghanistan and stressed the importance of peace for growth. KCR, who was speaking at the opening of the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) office and integrated district collectorate in Mahabubabad, urged the public to get involved in the work being done by BRS and praised Telangana for providing a model for growth for the rest of the nation. The BRS leader also highlighted the importance of addressing fundamental issues such as water and electricity, claiming that the central government had failed to do so. He stated that although the nation has enough water to meet its demands, it is unable to supply it, and cited the delayed distribution of water from the Krishna tribunal, established nearly 20 years ago, as a major obstacle to project building. KCR emphasized that comprehensive development is only possible
