TS budget, jugglery of figures: Ponguleti

Hyderabad,
Nov 5: Describing the TRS Government maiden budget as unrealistic and a
jugglery of figures, YSR Congress has said there was an attempt to inflate the
figures to reach the 1 lakh crore mark using the reverse calculation method.

“There is
no concord in the figures tucked into the whopping 1 lakh core budget and it
did not address the core issues and has been unrealistic vis-à-vis the
budgetary allocations of the united state,” Party Working President of
Telangana State P Sriniavas Reddy told reporters here on Wednesday.

There
have been attempts to touch the 1 lakh crore mark and the focus was only on the
targeted amount and not on the break-up of the figure with appropriate
allocations. The Government has boasted that the GDP rate is higher than that
of the Gujarat government but there is no reflection of the fact at ground
zero, he said.

The
figures mentioned in the budget are highly inflated as they do not correspond
with the earlier allocations of the united state on many counts be it plan
allocations, grants-in-aid that is due from the Centre or other heads. “Our
Party MLAs will raise the issue in the Assembly during the debate and will
question the government on the core issues and the lack of sincerity,” he said. YSRCP
MLAs, who were also present at the press meet, said that they take up the issue
and highlight the lack of clarity in the budget.

Srinivas
Reddy said that by December end or in January the mass contact programe will
continue in Telangana region along with Sharmila.
