BJP leader: Telangana development carried out with central government funds
On Independence Day, a leader from the BJP party in Telangana gave a big speech in Hyderabad.
His name is N Ramachander Rao.
He said that many good buildings and projects in Telangana were paid for with money from the central government.
He listed things like a tribal university and a fertiliser factory that got help.
Then he said the Congress party, which runs the state government, is doing a bad job.
He said the state owes more than 4.5 lakh crore rupees and that Congress made the debt even bigger.
He said Congress broke promises it made to people, like giving extra help to certain groups.
He also said the government has not paid about 12,000 crore rupees for students' education fees.
He complained that land might be given to builders and that people might have to pay more taxes.
This is what one political party says, and other parties may see things differently.
Telangana BJP president N Ramachander Rao said the state's development is being carried out with central government funds.
He credited the Modi government with projects including the Sammakka-Sarakka Tribal University, modernisation of Secunderabad railway station, revival of Ramagundam Fertilisers and Chemicals Limited, and MMTS expansion.
Rao alleged the previous BRS government plunged Telangana into a debt of over Rs 4.5 lakh crore and that the Congress government added over Rs 2 lakh crore more within 30 months.
He accused the Congress state government of breaking its six electoral guarantees and BC reservation pledges, and of withholding nearly Rs 12,000 crore in pending fee-reimbursement dues.
He also criticised the HILT policy as a scheme to hand over thousands of acres to real estate magnates and opposed dividing GHMC into three corporations.
