Hyderabad, Oct.11 (NSS): The Central Government has sanctioned ₹100 crore to Andhra Pradesh for Godavari Pushkaralu preparations, but Telangana has been completely left out, receiving nothing. Despite having eight BJP MPs and two Union Ministers from Telangana, the State was ignored. Both the BJP and Congress parties have failed to fight for Telangana’s rightful share, which is deeply disappointing.
In a press release today, the former minister and senior BRS leader expressed his frustration, stating, “If BRS had a stronger position in the Lok Sabha, we would never have allowed such a grave injustice to occur.” He highlighted the glaring disparity in the Union Budget allocations, where Andhra Pradesh received ₹15,000 crore in additional grants, while Telangana got zero. “Is Telangana being sidelined again? Why this continuous bias?” questioned Harish Rao.
Harish Rao emphasized that Telangana demands its rightful share and equal treatment. “We will not settle for anything less than what our State rightfully deserves,” he affirmed. He called upon the Central Government to correct this injustice immediately and ensure that Telangana is given the same consideration as other States in all future allocations.
