Telangana Minister for Industries and IT K.T. Rama Rao has sought Central Government’s support for the textiles and handlooms sector in the State.
In a letter addressed to Union Minister of Textiles Piyush Goyal, he said the Centre had not done anything for the textiles and handlooms sector in Telangana in spite of repeated requests made by the State. Accusing the Centre of not extending any financial help to the textile industry, the Minister said the Narendra Modi Government’s disdain for the textile sector, which provides second highest employment after agriculture, was very unfortunate.
