Telugu Desam Party (TDP) polit bureau member and Leader of the Opposition in the State Legislative Council, Yanamala Ramakrishnudu, on November 14 (Tuesday) accused the Jagan Mohan Reddy government in the State of doing “great injustice to the marginalised sections” by diverting the Central funds released for their welfare.
In a statement, the former Finance Minister alleged that Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy was resorting to extravagance and corrupt practices. He said the State did not release matching grants for more than 94 Centrally-sponsored schemes, which had an adverse impact on development of the downtrodden sections in the State.
“Instead of focussing on key issues of development, the YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) government is obsessed with painting buildings in its party colours and renaming Central schemes. Indiscriminate diversion of funds from the farm sector to the health sector and from industry to the irrigation sector have left the actual beneficiaries of the Central schemes high and dry,” he said.
