Hyderabad, February 2

Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) working president KT Rama Rao (KTR) has lashed out at the Union Government for what he termed as “a raw deal given to Telangana”.

The Centre has reduced the Budget to the state from Rs 1,037 crore in 2019-20 to Rs 889 crore. Projects such as Mission Kakatiya and Mission Bhagiratha, which have been replicated by other states, will be hit.

In a series of tweets, he said the Centre had even failed to fulfil its promise made in the Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Act, 2014.

“Utterly disappointed with the #UnionBudget2020 While economic survey showcases Telangana as a performer and a progressive state, reducing Telangana’s share in Central taxes is bound to impact the implementation of various development & welfare initiatives of the state government,” he said.
