Hyderabad, Oct.7 (Hydnow): Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao today criticized that both the Congress led UPA and BJP led NDA Governments at the Centre are following the same policies to deny and loot the rights of the states.
The BJP Government is stepping into the shoes of the previous Congress government in the centre by seizing the states’ rights, he alleged.
The two national parties of the congress and BJP have failed to address the people’s issues at ground level and denying the rights of the states, he said in the assembly during its session after a debate on Palle Pragathi and Pattana Pragathi. He accused the Modi Government of adopting anti-development policies as was the case with the UPA Regime. The Centre cut the development funds to the states by about 25 percent and says to give funds from Delhi for rural development through several schemes. If that is so, what for the state governments, municipalities and village panchayats in the country, he thundered.

He cited that the Modi regime did not give funds for development although the centre informed the parliament that Telangana is only the state free from fluoride problem in the country. The CM claimed that RBI has informed that the new state is one among the top four states that are contributing for national development, he claimed. We are contributing for national development and the Centre is giving us less refund as devolution after taking more as taxes, he averred.
While Centre per capita income is just four percent, Telangana per capita income is 649, the chief minister said and claimed that the state is surplus and on a growth path. He said that Hyderabad city, a world class metro city was developed in more than 400 years and by successive governments and we urged the Centre to give funds for its development in vain.
