Dismissing the white papers presented by the government in the Assembly as utter lies, the BRS working president K.T. Rama Rao tried to set the record straight presenting his set of figures on debts acquired from the Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) and NITI Aayog reports.
In a presentation titled ‘Sweda Patram’ (Document of Sweat) at the Telangana Bhavan on Sunday, the former IT Minister ridiculed the government’s claim of ₹6,71,757 crore debts and said the actual figure was ₹3,17,015 crore. The government has conveniently suppressed figures or used them to its advantage than presenting the factual report.
Mr. KTR urged the government not to belittle the achievements of Telangana and in the process destroy its image. “You cannot portray Telangana as a failed state when it is on top of all the charts on several parameters in several sectors,” he said.
