Minister for IT, Industries and Urban Development K.T. Rama Rao has sought to know from Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Ministers along with other bigwigs of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) why they are coming to the city next week after discriminating against Telangana in every possible manner.
He alleged that the BJP Government at the Centre had neither sanctioned any project/institution to the city/State nor given funds/grants in spite of recommendation by the NITI Aayog and Finance Commission. “The Centre has not given even a paisa to help the flood victims of Hyderabad after promising moon in the December 2020 elections, while it had given ₹1,000 crore to Gujarat for flood relief”, Mr. Rama Rao pointed out adding that the State Government had provided relief to the flood-affected families with ₹10,000 assistance each.
Speaking after inaugurating the Kaithlapur flyover between Hitec City and Kukatpally on Tuesday, he said the BJP had promised ‘rama rajyam’ (a welfare state) but turned the country into ‘ravana kaashtam’ (a land of endless conflicts) by dividing people and creating differences among them in the name of religion.
