Congress Govt to focus on infusing financial discipline as “there is no fiscal discipline or financial prudency” left: Telangana Governor

The new Congress-led Telangana Government has decided to focus on infusing financial discipline in the State as “there is no fiscal discipline or financial prudency” left because of the “bad governance” of the outgoing Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) Government, said Governor Tamilisai Soundararajan.

The State Government is of the view that improving financial situation on a war footing is the greatest challenge in front of it. The Government is accordingly on the job of identifying lacunae that took place in financial management, where wasteful expenditure is indulged in and where financial irregularities took place.

“My Government is focussed on strengthening the derailed financial situation. The entire financial discipline in the State is destroyed,” the Governor said in her traditional address to the joint sitting of the legislature on Friday. The Government accordingly intended to bring financial prudence without putting financial burden on the people, she said, asserting “this is our government’s aim and goal”.
