Centre extending maximum financial assistance to A.P., says G.V.L. Narasimha Rao

BJP Rajya Sabha member G.V.L. Narasimha Rao said on Wednesday that his party was of the opinion that bifurcation of Andhra Pradesh had indeed been done in an undemocratic manner, and that Prime Minister Narendra Modi was extending maximum financial assistance to the State.

It was to gloss over their failures that the regional parties, the YSRCP and the TDP, had launched a misinformation campaign against the Central government, Mr. Rao said, claiming that the Center had disbursed ₹77,538 crore in 2020-21 compared to ₹27,990 crore in 2015-16.

Besides, grants amounting to ₹40,000 crore were given to the State. “No State has got as much funding from the Center in the last six years,” he asserted.
