Hyderabad: BJP state president K. Laxman called minister K.T. Rama Rao the new ‘Ghajini’, after the character in the film of the same name, for forgetting the help provided by the NDA-led government and criticising it.
He was responding to Rama Rao saying that the Union Budget had not allotted a single rupee extra to the state.
Addressing the media on Monday, Laxman said that Rama Rao should understand that the Centre would allocate funds based on certain norms “but not to fill up your pockets in the name of major projects.”
Praising the Budget, Laxman alleged that the state was not implementing several Central schemes as the TRS government had failed to allocate its share. This deprived the people of getting the benefit of schemes initiated by the Modi government.
He said the BJP was ready for an open debate on Central funds released by the Modi government to the state. He alleged that Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao was re-designing to projects to get commission.
Reacting to MIM president Asaduddin Owaisi’s comment that the Budget was like a long movie without an interval, Laxman said that he should know that the Modi government works 24X7 for the welfare of people without a break. He should watch the film till the end, Laxman said.
