NDA govt blinking at TS needs: Kavitha
The NDA government was not supportive of Telangana and the new State was forced to fight for its rights since its beginning, said TRS leader and MP Kalvakuntla Kavitha while expressing her \"hurt\" over the Prime Minister Narendra Modi not paying a single visit since assuming charge.
"The fact that Modi ji has not even visited Telangana once...maybe it shows his understanding...or I don't know...the (lack of) intention of developing the new state," she said.
Hyderabad: The NDA government was not supportive of Telangana and the new State was forced to fight for its rights since its beginning, said TRS leader and MP Kalvakuntla Kavitha while expressing her "hurt" over the Prime Minister Narendra Modi not paying a single visit since assuming charge.
"The fact that Modi ji has not even visited Telangana once...maybe it shows his understanding...or I don't know...the(lack of) intention of developing the new state," she said. Referring to Modi visiting many foreign countries, Kavitha said, "Developing relations with other countries is important.
But our own states are also equally important, especially new states like Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. Both deserve special attention from the Central government." Telangana is the 29th State of India, born on June 2, 2014 out of the AP Reorganisation Act.
Because of this attitude of the Centre, according to her, Telangana is forced to fight for its rights even on minor issues and Andhra Pradesh is also not getting the respect that it deserves.
She reminded that despite promises, the High Court hasn’t been bifurcated, Pranahita-Chevella project hasn’t been granted national status and there were no incentives for industrial development in the new state.
Kavitha said in the first Presidential address in 2014 there was not even mention of the creation of the new State (Telangana). In Parliament also, the Government never used to give separate data on Telangana.
After persistent efforts of state MPs, now the government has slowly starting giving it, she said. "Apart from that, there are many promises in AP Reorganisation Act, 2014, which are never even touched upon," she added.
