Hyderabad:
The BJP leaders found the Budget resolution and discussion unnecessary and asked for them to be withdrawn.
The party members felt that the ruling Congress, even though it received large funds from the Centre for most projects, was simply blaming the Union government.
In protest against the resolution, the BJP members later staged a walkout.
During the Assembly discussion on the Union Budget resolution, BJP floor leader Aleti Maheshwar Reddy highlighted that the BJP government allocated significant funds for Telangana.
These include Rs 26,000 crore for the Regional Ring Road, three Kendriya Vidyalayas for Adilabad, Rs 80,000 crore for various ongoing projects, and Rs 3,500 crore under the Amruth scheme.
Maheshwar Reddy emphasized that the Congress was feeling uneasy after the BJP secured eight MP seats in Telangana.
He demanded that the State government withdraw the resolution against the budget allocations to Telangana in the Union budget.
The BJP floor leader accused the Congress party of being a villain for Telangana since 1956.
He criticized the Musi Riverfront Development Project, calling it an ‘ATM’ for the State government to loot public money.
Reddy alleged a big scam behind this project, stating that the State government neither presented a detailed project report nor applied for funds in the correct format.
He accused the Congress government of misleading the people about budget allocations to Telangana.
Despite the Union government granting funds for different projects, the Congress government continued to complain, he said.
