Congress MP Anil Kumar Yadav has strongly condemned Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman’s recent remarks towards the Telangana State.
In a release here on Thursday, Rajya Sabha MP Anil Kumar Yadav said that Telangana was a revenue surplus State at the time of bifurcation, but due to the misgovernance and financial mismanagement of the former chief minister K Chandrashekar Rao’s family, the State has now fallen into a deficit.
“Adding to this injustice, the Union government has failed to fulfill key promises made to Telangana over the last 10 years. Critical projects like the Bayyaram Steel Plant and various Central Institutions promised during bifurcation remain unfulfilled.
These delays have hindered the state’s growth and denied the people of Telangana the opportunities they rightfully deserve,” he pointed out.
Alleging that Telangana is not receiving its fair share of tax revenue from the Union government, the Congress MP said that despite being a major contributor to the nation’s economy, the State is being deprived of its rightful resources, affecting development projects and essential public services.
This imbalance is unacceptable and the people of Telangana will no longer tolerate this stepmotherly treatment, he said.
Anil Kumar Yadav urged the Union government to correct these injustices, release the funds owed to Telangana and fulfill all pending commitments.
“Telangana deserves fair treatment and as a representative of the people, I will continue to fight for the state’s rights and development,” he added.
