askKTR on twitter
9 years ago Arpita Soma#askKTR trended at No1 position in Hyderabad on twitter today with the twitterati bombarding KTR with questions. Two youngsters Anurag and Aditya who manage the #rocur (rotational curation) handle @wearehyderabad got KTR to curate the handle for 2 hours today from 6PM to 8 PM.
Questions ranged from Industrial Policy in the new state to developing towns like Warangal, Sircilla, KamaReddy , from potholes to helmet rule and road safety, from his favourite sport and movie stars to his favourite restaurants in the city!
While we have been hearing  so much about the industrial policy, skill development, T Hub incubator and making Telangana power sufficient state in the last one year,  here’s a few tweets that really caught some attention..
Rohith reddy (@rohithcode) pointed how difficult it is for startups to get even a loan of 50k from banks, the IT Minister replied saying “Watch out for the IT policy†. Wonder what the new policy has in store for startups. Fingers crossed.
When questioned about corporate giants with incentives vs encouraging entrepreneurs
and that there will be special incentives for women entrepreneurs too!
Rural super markets soon to help SHG women? That sounds interesting..
on losing out to companies due to competition from other states..
Folks on twitter pointed out that one couldn’t connect to wifi near Tankbund and asked him to give a surprise visit, the cool minister replied saying he will get it checked.
The govt has lot of plans in store for Musi and he agreed that infrastructure for pedestrians needs to be improved
and a comprehensive road plan in store..
And soon, farmers to also to be part of the digital India week
soon broadband services in rural areas through OFC
and agreed that more focus is needed on Rural development , water supply and sanitation
There are plans to install 1 lakh cc cameras in Hyderabad to make Hyderabad safer
While he got appreciated for his simplicity that he travels without any escorts on Hyd roads,
he was questioned for abusing a police officer and he apologised for his behaviour with the officer! (How many politicians do that in public!!)
And his favourite heroes are Mahesh, Charan, NTR and many others while Shahrukh Khan is his favourite in Hindi. His favourite city is the Big Apple, NBA his favourite sport while in the US and Seinfeld his favourite show.
and what about free tickets for Baahubali?
and the Hyderabadi twitterati got bowled at this one..kya bola miyyan!
And the charming politico is absolutely open to photographs and autographs on Monday at Secretariat. You can call his PRO at 7680901901.
