In a press note issued here on Sunday, the CPI leader found fault with Amit Shah’s comments which were bluntly condemned by Finance Minister Eatala Rajender.
The people and political parties were not ready to believe Shah’s lies, he said. Actually, Rajender said the Centre gave only Rs 36,000 crore and sought timely help for drought and other needs, he said.
Irrespective of any party, the Centre should offer funds to all States as per norms. This time, the 14th Finance Commission made recommendations on allocations to the States as per the provisions in the Constitution, he said.
Though the Telangana government sought Rs 3,064 crore towards drought relief, the Centre gave only Rs 712 crore, he fumed.
Despite failing to provide more financial assistance to prevent farmers’ suicides, the Centre had not yet fulfilled the AP Bifurcation Act and denied package or help and national status to any project in Telangana State, he added.
While this was so, the State BJP leaders were making ‘useless’ comments against the State government, he said and added that even as the Modi government failed to implement its promises, the State BJP leaders did not condemn Shah’s comments, but were also making false statements.
