What Explanation Does Babu Have For The Centre?

Hyderabad: Chandrababu, who has been swallowing the funds granted by the centre and giving himself undeserved credit, has been given a shock by the veterans at the centre. They have demanded account of the previous funds in order for them to sanction new.

This is what has happened

The centre gave Rs.350 crore in the financial year 2014-15. Rs.50 crore to each of three districts from North Andhra region and four districts from Rayalaseema. Again in the year 2015-16, it gave Rs.350 crore in the same way. But when the state Government asked for funds in the current financial year, the centre reacted severely. It condemned the Government for not sending accounts for the previously-sanctioned funds as instructed. It demanded for submission of fund consumption account for Rs.700 crore and action plan for the funds now being asked for. A letter was sent to the planning department of AP in this matter.

Diversion of funds sanctioned by the centre?

The centre is expressing doubts about possible diversion of the previously-sanctioned funds for the backward districts. Rs.52 crore of the sanctioned money was spent to buy scanning machines in seven districts with the direct instructions of the Chief Minister. Officials are stating that the funds were spent for various fields. The state’s planning department is stating that the funds were released to the districts’ collectors and that they have to declare how the funds have been spent. The centre is furious about diversion of the huge amount of Rs.700 crore.

Fake accounts in the past as well

It is being wondered if the state Government will give true statement for this or it will offer fake accounts and escape. The centre earlier demanded account for the Rs.1800 crore sanctioned for the capital. Then Chandrababu’s Government falsely presented that Raj Bhavan and High Court had been built!
