Hyderabad: Union Minister G. Kishan Reddy said that the upcoming 17th September in Hyderabad will be celebrated as Liberation Day as well as the birthday of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. On Sunday, Kishan Reddy watched the Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s ‘Mann Ki Baat’ program with local people in Borabanda. On the occasion, he said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi communicates with the people every month and gives clear messages on various issues like development, culture, sports, and infrastructure.

The Prime Minister has once again highlighted the importance of the Swachh Bharat program. Kishan Reddy said that 13 months after India’s independence, police action was taken through the intervention of the then Deputy Prime Minister Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, and the Nizam’s army and Razakars were defeated, resulting in the hoisting of the tricolor flag in Hyderabad. In the ‘Mann Ki Baat’ program, PM Modi mentioned the efforts made by Sardar Patel for the merger of the Telangana state into India.
