Mr. K. Chandrashekar Rao, the Chief Minister of Telangana, once again criticised the Central Government over the squeeze of funds, restricting the growth and development of Telangana.
On the 11th of August, Thursday, Mr. K. Chandrashekar Rao said, that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Government is giving “step motherly” treatment to the Telugu State. Notably, KCR held the Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) Cabinet Meeting. The meeting was called to discuss alternatives to mobilize funds to meet the financial requirements of the State in the current financial year.
Chaired by the Telangana Chief Minister Mr. K. Chandrashekar Rao, during the five hour long cabinet meeting, TRS Cabinet also took important decisions including the construction of the modern ENT tower, the modern hospital building in Koti, Auto Nagar in Vikarabad. Furthermore, the issue of the Munugodu Assembly byelections was also figured out. It is to be noted, during the meeting, the Chief Minister made a detailed presentation to his cabinet colleagues on the performance of the economic front despite facing challenges from the Union Government.
The cabinet observed, “The delay in the release of central funds to the states is taking place due to the introduction of a new system of SNA accounts. Not only this, the FRMB limits are not being finalized in time and the Centre was enforcing a cut in the limits. The state revenues would have increased further and would have registered a growth rate of 22 per cent if there were no cuts in the FRMB limits.”
Meanwhile, to fulfil the financial demands of the welfare schemes introduced by the State Government, the TRS Cabinet approved sanctioning of 10 lakh new Aasara pensions from the 15th of August.
Furthermore, the Cabinet also decided to release 75 prisoners, on the occasion of “Swatantra Bharat Vajrotsavalu,” an event launched by the TRS Government to celebrate the 75th Independence Day. In addition, they approved the construction of new ENT tower at the existing ENT hospital in Koti. The cabinet also sanctioned 10 specialist doctors for ENT hospital.
Moreover, the Cabinet also approved the construction of a new Sarojini Devi Eye hospital with modern facilities, allotment of 15 acres of land to construct Auto Nagar in Vikarabad, allotment of 30 acres of land to Tandur market committee in Yala and 45 acres of land for stone polishing units in Shabad. On the economic front, the officials informed the cabinet that the state registered a 15.30% growth rate in the State’s revenue in the 2022 financial year.
