The BRS had made several requests, including central institutes such as IIM to Telangana, funds for industrial corridors from Telangana to Mumbai-Nagpur and others and establishment of a new handloom cluster along with a mega power loom cluster, but the Centre did not respond, he charged.”Even the requests made by the present chief minister and ministers from Telangana during their visits to Delhi were ignored. Once again, Telangana has received nothing in this Central Budget,” Rama Rao, son of former CM Chandrasekhar Rao, said.Stating that Telangana people should take note of the funds allocated to Andhra Pradesh and Bihar which have more seats in Parliament, he claimed that the people need to understand that “own political identity and strength” is crucial for Telangana’s development.The people of Telangana will certainly teach a lesson to the BJP government for giving zero funds despite having eight MPs, he said.Maintaining that BRS has no problem with the funds given to Andhra Pradesh and that his party wishes the neighbouring state, Rama Rao said the Central government, however, did not mention the word Telangana even once when discussing the Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Act.”We are happy with the significant funds given to Andhra Pradesh. But it is truly disappointing to see that only Andhra Pradesh and Bihar received funds while the remaining 26 states were overlooked,” he said.
