The budget tabled by Finance Minister Etela Rajender was nothing but a gimmick of numbers. Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao had once again cheated the people of Telangana. The government neglected backward communities in budget they said while interacting with the media.
Rao said there was a mismatch between the allocations and promises made by KCR. It was a budget prepared for CM’s son K Taraka Rama Rao and son-in-law T Harish Rao, as higher allocations were made their portfolios.
Allocations made to SCs,STs and minorities were just an eye wash. The allocation of Rs 3,000 crore for power was not enough to meet farmers’ subsidy and improve the infrastructure, he explained.
