"telangana-budget"

Leader of Opposition and BRS president K Chandrashekhar Rao dominated television channels, tweets on X, and multiple social media platforms for hours after arriving at the Assembly about 15 minutes before Finance Minister Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka presented the budget.

Speaking to the media, BJP Legislative Party leader A Maheshwar Reddy alleged that the budget was full of debts and that the budget would further increase the State's debts.

Deputy Chief Minister Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka claimed that the government had identified sources to generate additional revenues to fulfill the initiatives announced in the budget and the six guarantees of Congress.

Former minister Singireddy Niranjan Reddy pointed out that there was no mention about the support for the tenant farmers and the farm workers in the State budget.

K Chandrashekhar Rao expressed his discontent, stating that the budget reflected the government's indifference to the needs of various sections, particularly farmers and the lower classes.

Total revenues were estimated at ₹2,90,814 crore, including over ₹57,000 crore in open market loans.

Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy said the State government had decided to boycott the Niti Ayog meeting to be held under the chairmanship of Prime Minister Narendra Modi on July 27.

Condemning the Centre's vindictive attitude towards Telangana, the Chief Minister said though Sitharaman allocated funds to Andhra Pradesh under the AP Reorganization Act, the name of Telangana was nowhere in her speech.

The State government initially estimated the Musi River beautification project cost at Rs 50,000 crore and was later revised to Rs 70,000 crore. Recently, the estimates were freshly revised to a staggering Rs 1.5 lakh crore even before the draft plans are prepared.

With focus on delivering its six promises, the State government allocated Rs.53,196 crore for the purpose. However, even as the Opposition claimed that implementing these guarantees would cost Rs.1.25 lakh crore

Governor's address to the budget session was usually looked upon as a vision document indicating priorities for the financial year. However, this time, it appeared to be dull and drab, said Harish Rao
