Finance Minister Buggana Rajendranath Reddy has said that it is quite disappointing that the promises made in the A.P. Reorganisation Act, 2014, on Special Category Status (SCS), Polavaram national project and infrastructure projects, industries and Central institutions have not been considered in the Union Budget 2022-23.
In a press release on Tuesday, he said that the resilience of the Indian economy had been built with the participation of the States.In the mission of nation building, the focus of the Central government on infrastructure was well conceived. However, the States were better placed to identify specific gaps in infrastructure and the devolution of funds to the States would further strengthen the process of nation building, he observed.
