Will ensure more funds are provided to Telangana in Modi Government’s next term: BJP leaders

Telangana Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leaders have, on Tuesday, promised that if their party candidates are elected in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections, they will ensure that the next Government led by Modi at the Centre provides sufficient funds for the development of the State, which will be much more than the ₹7 lakh crore given in the last 10 years.

Senior leaders, including Rajya Sabha MP and national OBC chairperson K. Laxman, former Minister Eatala Rajender and others spoke at a farmers connect public meeting held in Keesara, Medchal-Malkajgiri district on Tuesday. They said that people have not been able to experience any change following the transfer of power from Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) to the Congress party following the State Assembly elections-2023 held in December last.

“The Congress Government is following the footsteps of the erstwhile Government led by K. Chandrasekhar Rao. Nothing has changed for the people as the promised guarantees are not being implemented on one pretext or other with new conditions being enforced like linking with white ration cards. What happened to the filling up of vacant posts, unemployment doles or financial assistance to women? We are also witnessing power cuts,” charged Mr. Laxman.
