CPI State secretary and party MLA Koonamneni Sambasiva Rao today said the State government should fight for funds due to it from the Central government. He alleged that the Central government, which is giving 15% share to Uttar Pradesh State, was not releasing funds that are due to Telangana State.
Speaking to mediapersons at the CPI State office Maqdhoom Bhavan on Friday along with recently elected party MLC Nellikanti Satyam, Telangana State Rythu Sangham State president Bagam Hemanth and general secretary Pashya Padma.
Speaking on the occasion, he said the Centre would have to give the State its due share and if the Centre does not give it, they would fight together.
Koonamneni Sambasiva Rao congratulated the government for conducting the assembly session very well this time. He said even though he was not present in the last assembly session, many people’s representatives had told him about it.
“I have heard that they were not allowed to speak at all and if anyone criticized anything, the marshals would throw them out,” he said. He said the Centre owes Rs. 25,000 crore of the dues and more would go in the form of GDP and the discussion was on who ate how much instead of discussing these issues.
Koonamneni Sambasiva Rao said if the State government ruled well without committing mistakes like the previous government, it would get a good name. “We have to focus on what the Congress government is doing. 2025-26 annual budget is not a pro-poor budget and no government is doing justice to the common man.
Debts are high and guarantees are also high. There is no budget money, but the promises have been made excessively and they are trying to fulfill them,” he said. It was suggested that a prepared system should be set up to fulfil the promises by him.
He said the farm loan waiver had turned out to be a mess and added that many people had not been given the loan waiver due to the technical reasons while claiming that in some areas of the districts, very few people have been given loan waiver.
Stating that a farmer’s loan waiver was not done to a family in Raghunath village of Jangaon district due to technical reasons, he urged the government to resolve the technical issues and complete the loan waiver scheme.
