Hyderabad, Sept.1 (NSS): Former Minister Mohammed Ali Shabbir on Thursday demanded that Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman give a specific deadline for the release of pending funds for Telangana from the Centre.
He said Nirmala Sitharaman was a ‘Telugu Bidda’ and she should explain what she did for the benefit of Telugu States .He said the Union Minister also owe an explanation on when the Centre would release the pending funds for Telangana. Further, the BJP Govt should explain why it did not implement the promises made with Telangana in the Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Act.
Shabbir Ali said that the Centre has imposed GST on food items such as packaged milk, curd and wheat flour. Consequently, the prices of milk and other products increased significantly burdening the common man.
“As the Union Finance Minister, Nirmala Sitharaman has completely failed in handling the country’s economy. Prices of fuel and essential commodities are on the rise with the Centre doing absolutely nothing to control them. While Prime Minister Narendra Modi is behaving in a dictatorial manner, Nirmala Sitharaman has no power to challenge the PM’s style of functioning. PM Modi has demolished the entire consultative mechanism which could have helped the country overcome the economic crisis. In this scenario, the visits of Union Ministers to various districts to check the implementation of Central schemes is ridiculous,” he said.
Shabbir Ali said that the Union Minister should also clarify her stand on freebies. “As against the fake claims of Chief Minister K. Chandrashekhar Rao, Telangana is not the richest State in the country. As per the NITI Aayog statistics, over 13.74% of people in Telangana are poor. More than 36 lakh people are getting Aasara pension and get less than Rs. 65 a day. More than 40 lakh youth are jobless, including nearly 25 lakh qualified graduates registered with the Telangana State Public Service Commission. Neither the BJP Govt at the Centre nor TRS Govt in Telangana did anything to provide jobs or increase their incomes. By visiting Kamareddy, Nirmala Sitharaman wants to create a false impression that the Centre was implementing welfare schemes for the poor. But in reality, BJP Govt wants to take away whatever is being free to the poor and downtrodden people of Telangana,” he alleged.
The Congress leader said that BJP leaders were expecting to get votes in the next elections without doing anything for the people. Instead of giving answers on their failures, both TRS and BJP leaders were indulging in blame games to divert people’s attention. He appealed to the people to question both BJP and TRS ministers on their failures when they visit their villages. (NSS)
