Congress leaders D K Aruna and P Sudhakar Reddy today flayed 2015-16 Budget presented by Finance Minister Etela Rajender in the Assembly “is an assortment of words and completely away from the facts”.
Reacting on the budget here, they accused the TRS Government of having ignored youth, students and journalists, who actively participated in the statehood movement. The budget is far from facts and lacks any clarity on allocations and plans to spend for schemes and programs. They alleged that the budget has allotted more funds to ministries held by T Harsih Rao and K T Rama Rao, who being the family members of Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao.
Dubbing the budget as a mere jugglery of numbers, they said there is no clarity on allocations and the funds to be spent. They expressed doubt that the government may hike taxes as to pool the funds for various schemes. They even charged that the government ignored the housing for poor, KG to PG scheme besides improper allocations to welfare sector. The people are put to despair, they deplored. (NSS)
