T budget gets mixed reactions

Hyderabad, Nov 5: Telangana TDP MLA R Krishnaiah Wednesday criticised Telangana government's maiden budget and alleged that budgetary allocations have not been made properly. He then went on to say the Telangana government had totally failed to meet the concerns on some key issues. He alleged that interests of BC groups have been totally sidelined despite several appeals made to the government on the issue. He also remarked that Telangana government has failed to focus on the fee-reimbursement issue of students in the budget. Speaking to media persons, TRS leader Jupally Krishna Rao said the budget was very well planned under the supervision of chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao. Jupally said that the budget is free from any political glitch. He expressed confidence that the budget will fulfill the concerns of all sections of people in the state.

He said the government has forgotten the Telangana martyrs and others who have sacrificed their lives. Meanwhile, TRS MLA Konda Surekha said the budget is very transparent and has been prepared taking all aspects into account.

She said that special allocations have been made to TS martyrs, agriculture sectors, women and children.
