Kabhi tho sach bolo

New Delhi: “It is necessary for the people to speak truth occasionally, if not always,” was the recommendations Union Home Minister Amit Shah provides to the Government of Telangana.

Speaking at the Telangana Formation Day parties arranged by the Union Ministry of Culture at Dr Ambedkar International Centre right here on Thursday, Shah claimed the Centre had actually never ever victimized any type of state. The BJP government thinks that the country proceeds just when states establish. “Unfortunately, a lot of false propaganda against the Centre was being made alleging that injustice was meted to the new state,” he claimed.

Shah claimed throughout his check out to Telangana just recently had actually offered information of the devolution of funds from the Centre to the state with complete information. “For the benefit of the people of the state,” he claimed, he wants to state that throughout the last 8 years, the Centre had actually offered Rs 2,52,202 crore for the development of the state.” This included funds for Jal Jeevan Mission, tribal area development, etc, he added.

He said the state would have got much more almost to the extent of Rs 4 lakh crore if it had responded to the queries of the Centre. It had never bothered to give replies to the letters written by various departments, the Union minster said.

Shah criticized the UPA government for bifurcating the state in a hurry for electoral gains which they could not get. It could have been done in a better manner and many inter-state problems could have been avoided, he said. 

He said it was unfortunate that the TRS government refuses to observe the Telangana Liberation Day officially. “We need to be happy to Sardar Patel that freed Telangana, Karnataka as well as Maharashtra from the Nizam policy. “Soon, there will be a change in government the state and the BJP will celebrate the Liberation Day officially,” he claimed.
