TRS reminds its wish-list to Centre
TRS Reminds its Wish-List to Centre.

The party’s Parliamentary Party leader Jitender Reddy informed that he had reminded the government at the meeting that his party MPs and also the Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao (KCR) had met the Prime Minister Narendra Modi and several ministers of the Union government asking funds and support for the developmental projects and the finances needed for them from the last Winter Session to the beginning of the Budget session.
He said, “We reminded the Centre over the issues we have taken up with the various ministries including with the Prime Minister ranging from fulfilling the promises made in the AP Reorganisation Act to the funds the state had to get under General Sales Tax.”
TRS is waiting for the Union Railway Budget and the General Budget to be presented in the Parliament and it only hopes at this juncture that the issues raised by them will find place. KCR had met the Prime Minister Narendra Modi during his visit to the national capital and raised several issues ranging from declaring Pranahita-Chevella Lift Irrigation Project to grants for Godavari Pushkaralu, Centre’s financial help to the Mission Kakatiya and to Water Grid projects among others. In addition to KCR’s meeting with the Prime Minister, several ministers from the KCR government had met Union ministers individually and asked for Centre’s help from establishing textile clusters to granting funds for the backward districts and to increase funds for the minority students’ scholarships.
TRS has 11 MPs in the Lok Sabha but it is neither with the BJP-led NDA which is in power at the Centre nor with the Congress-led UPA. Recently, KCR’s meeting with the Prime Minister Modi gave rise to rumours that his party is inching closer to the BJP to the extent that the TRS MPs may join the Union government. However, MP K Kavitha and daughter of KCR dismissed the rumours.
