00:00Today I came here to remind the people of Tamil Nadu about their future.
00:13That future we will deliver. That is where I came here.
00:20You are all aware, Tamil Nadu is the cradle of Dravidian culture.
00:28We are all Dravidians. South Indian, everybody is calling, we are all Dravidians.
00:37But among all of us, historically if you can go through, we are all in combined province during British period.
00:49Chennai was the headquarter. At that time, Medras.
00:54Medras. For everything, for jobs, for opportunities, or to fulfill our aspirations, or government transactions, we used to come here.
01:07This was a big province. If you can see Hyderabad, there is Nijam rule.
01:15Except Hyderabad, Karnataka, Andhra, Kerala, and also Orissa.
01:25Even NTR started his career here only, in film actor. He stayed here nearly 45 to 50 years.
01:37I got married here only, because he was staying here.
01:42So that is the relations with Chennai.
01:46After NTR became chief minister, at that time, MGR were the chief minister.
01:54Both are very good friends in cinema industry and also politics.
02:00That is the beginning of Telugu Ganga.
02:05Very difficult decision.
02:0815 TMs of water.
02:11Through Telugu Ganga,
02:14all states agreed,
02:18if you can go through
02:21Maharashtra, Karnataka, Andhra,
02:23agreed to give 15 TMs of water to Chennai.
02:27That was the beginning.
02:28I want to remind that
02:30this land has given
02:33birth to many, many
02:37eminent personalities.
02:39Not one or two.
02:42Karnagitu,
02:43Thiruvallur,
02:45Kamban,
02:46Subarmanjabharati,
02:48CV Raman,
02:49Saruva Pilrathakrishnan,
02:51Srinivas Ramanujan,
02:52Abdul Kalam,
02:53Srinivas Ramanujan,
02:55and also Swaminathan,
02:57great reformers like
03:00Ramaswami Nayakar,
03:03Anna Adhwurai.
03:06Leadership means,
03:08at one stage,
03:11all IAS officers are from Tamil Nadu.
03:14Strong IAS lobby.
03:16Even today,
03:18cabinet secretaries from Tamil Nadu.
03:22Swaminathan,
03:24Somanathan,
03:25Somanathan.
03:27And also,
03:29my first
03:29chief secretary was
03:31Rajaji.
03:33My four secretary was
03:36Sampath.
03:37After that,
03:37he became
03:39central election commissioner.
03:43He was instrumental for reforms.
03:45in this country.
03:47Not only for Andhra.
03:48First reform,
03:49four secretary reform,
03:50Andhra.
03:52He was the secretary
03:54at that time.
03:56Abdul Kalam,
03:58we are very happy
04:00during Vajpayee period.
04:04He was selected
04:05as president of India.
04:07He made
04:08all the difference.
04:11so many presidents,
04:13but people remember today.
04:16Abdul Kalam,
04:17that is the biggest
04:20difference he made.
04:23Tamil always,
04:25Tamilians,
04:26they used to love language.
04:29They are protecting language.
04:32Not now.
04:33From the beginning.
04:35Even Telugu people
04:37are very strong,
04:38but they will talk
04:39only in Tamil here.
04:41That is the beauty.
04:45Because,
04:46Tamil Nadu is,
04:47Tamil Nadu and Andhra
04:49is not separate.
04:52Karnataka,
04:53Kerala,
04:53at least some distance.
04:55Next one hour,
04:57if you go,
04:58our border will come.
05:00Not even one hour,
05:01for half hour,
05:0245 minutes.
05:03That is the relations
05:05we enjoyed
05:06from the beginning.
05:09I had a very good equation
05:12with all leaders
05:14starting with MZR.
05:17Jailatagaru,
05:18all these people
05:19had a very good relations.
05:21Always,
05:23even today,
05:24beautiful temples,
05:26temple architecture means
05:28this is
05:31Tamil Nadu only.
05:33Four full
05:34temples.
05:36That is how
05:39even Prime Minister
05:40used to appreciate
05:41and also
05:43he participated,
05:44he promoted
05:45Tamil Nadu
05:46temples
05:47in a big way.
05:49And also
05:50totally if you see
05:53Tanjavur,
05:53Tricharapalli,
05:55Chidambaram,
05:55Madurai,
05:56Kanchi,
05:57Ramiswaram,
05:58wherever you go,
06:00they are all
06:01divine hubs.
06:04That is how
06:05it is promoting.
06:07Even
06:08Andhra Pradesh,
06:08if you see,
06:09so many
06:10our people are also
06:11very, very religious.
06:12They are all
06:13coming here.
06:15And also
06:15from Tamil Nadu,
06:17people are coming
06:18to Balaji
06:18and get
06:20to Swami.
06:21Huge crowds
06:23by walk,
06:24different parts
06:25of Tamil Nadu,
06:27number of days
06:28they used to walk
06:29and come
06:29and pay their
06:32respects to God.
06:34That is the
06:36relations we are having.
06:38And ultimately,
06:39what I wanted to
06:40emphasize here,
06:45very strong,
06:47rich culture,
06:50strong economy,
06:55off late,
06:56if you see,
06:58our honorable
