Centre taking revenge on Telangana: KTR #IndiaNEWS #News
Hyderabad: TRS working president and Minister KT Rama Rao slammed the Narendra Modi government at Centre for not coming to the rescue of rain-battered Telangana. He stated that the Central government was treating Telangana like an enemy and taking revenge on the State without sanctioning funds on one pretext or the other, with political motives.
Just like the financial sanctions imposed on the enemy countries, the union government is imposing several restrictions on Telangana to release funds and give fiscal approals. Despite the unprecedented floods in Godavari River, the Centre did not release even a paise to the State towards relief measures, he said, during an informal interaction with mediapersons on Friday.
Modi, Gujarat PM
Terming Narendra Modi as only Prime Minister of Gujarat, Rama Rao said the Prime Minister who released Rs 1,000 crore as advance relief fund to flood-hit Gujarat, had not responded on the unprecedented flood situation in the State. He stated that if the Prime Minister had any humanity left in him, he should respond immediately and release funds. He reminded that despite repeated requests from the State, the union government did not release any funds for flood relief measures during the 2020 floods in Hyderabad.
While the State was reeling under floods, the Minister stated that the union government sent Central teams to the State alleging irregularities under Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MGNREGS). The Central government is objecting to us taking up construction of Rythu Vedikas and drying platforms for the benefit of the farmers. Why such wild allegations of corruption and irregularities unless we misused the funds? Instead, the union government should encourage other States to emulate Telangana and create assets like Rythu Vedikas under the scheme, he suggested.
Sarkaar or circus
Coming down heavily on the BJP government, Rama Rao wondered if the BJP was running a Sarkaar (government) or circus. The union government has no policy or plan of action on various issues. He ridiculed the Centre changing its stance on paddy procurement from Telangana. First, the union Minister (Piyush Goyal) agreed to procure only raw rice as there were huge stocks of boiled rice. But later, they refused to buy CMR (custom milled rice) citing irregularities. Similarly, the Centre asked the States to promote crop diversification, but now, the union Minister wants the States to increase paddy cultivation, he said.
He reminded that Modi as the then Chief Minister of Gujarat attributed the fall in Rupee value to the corruption in the then UPA government. He asked the BJP leaders who were criticising the Telangana government for availing market borrowings, to understand that they were being obtained within the permissable limits.
