KCR failed to get Central funds: Ponguleti

Congress MLC Ponguleti Sudhakar Reddy has accused TRS Government of having failed to get funds from the Central Government for the development of Telangana State.

Speaking to media persons in Assembly premises here on Thursday, Ponguleti said while TRS Government failed to any new project or funds from the Centre, the neighbouring Andhra Pradesh secured projects or funds worth nearly Rs. 2.25 lakh crore. He said instead of making effective representations with the Centre on State’s projects, the TRS MPs did eyewash by holding protest on High Court bifurcation.

Ponguleti said that the TRS MPs have failed to get required assistance for the farmers who were hit due to drought and other natural calamities. He said that the State Government failed to initiate any steps to complete the pending projects. He said Khammam district was the worst hit as no steps were taken to start the 400 MW power plant, Byyaram steel plant or construction of Bhadrachalam barrage. (INN)
