Union Budget 2022: It is a known fact that Telangana government headed by Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao is seriously considering to raise voice and demand for proper funds allocation to the state by the Union Finance Minister NirmalaSitharam during the Budget presentation in Parliament on February 1.Substantiating this point, Municipal Administration and Development (MAUD) Minister, K Taraka Rama Rao announced that TRS MPs would fight tooth and nail to ensure that Telangana, especially Hyderabad, gets its rightful share of funds. He instructed all state MPs to raise a strong voice in Parliament during the Budget session on the matter.

KTR pointed to the step-motherly attitude of the Centre towards Hyderabad during the flash floods last year. Not a single rupee was given to Hyderabad, whereas Prime Minister NarendraModi released Rs 1,000 crore to rain-affected Gujarat, he said. The Union Minister and BJP MPs from the State had remained mute spectators to the injustice, the MAUD Minister said.

The Minister slammed the Union government for delaying with the decision over handing over around 100 acres of defence lands in Secunderabad cantonment area towards public infrastructure development. Despite repeated requests for nearly 20 times to four Defence Ministers including ArunJaitley, ManoharParrikar, NirmalaSitharaman and Rajnath Singh over nearly six years as well as the PM, there has been no response from the centre, he said.
