TRS working president KT Rama Rao came down heavily on the Centre stating that performing and promising young state's requests were ignored by Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman. In a series of tweets on his Twitter handle on Saturday, KTR felt that Union Budget was extremely disappointing and insipid from Telangana's perspective.
KTR reminded that Economic Survey praised Telangana's initiatives, but the Finance Minister ignored it. KTR also pointed out that NITI Aayog lauded Mission Kakatiya and Mission Bhagiratha schemes of his government and recommended the Centre to allocate Rs 24,000 crore for these two schemes. Strangely not even Rs 24 was allocated by the FM, he said tagging Nirmala Sitharaman on her Twitter account. He mentioned that the Telangana state had repeatedly demanded national project status for either Kaleshwaram or Palamuru Lift Irrigation projects on various forums.
