Komatireddy: Why did KCR not comment on Union Budget?

Minister for Roads and Building Komatireddy Venkat Reddy on Friday demanded an explanation from former chief minister K Chandrashekar Rao as to why he failed to comment on Union Budget. Chandrashekar Rao, known as KCR, the Minister said, had, however, criticised Telangana State budget. It showed that KCR has tacit understanding with the BJP.
Venkat Reddy pointed out that Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy condemned the injustice meted out to Telangana in the Union budget on the very evening of presenting the Union budget.
Why KCR did not condemn the injustice done to Telangana in the Union budget, he queried.
Addressing a press conference at his camp office in Nalgonda district headquarters on Friday, he expressed surprise over KCR, T Harish Rao and KT Rama Rao remaining mute about the injustice meted out Telangana in the Union Budget.
He said that the allocation of Rs 72,659 crore for the agriculture sector in the State budget showed that the government is 100 per cent pro-farmer.  “I have been in the legislature for 30 years and have never seen such a good budget.” He said that the state government has brought a budget of Rs 2,91,191 crore, out of which Rs 72,659 crore has been allocated for the agriculture sector alone, out of which Rs 31,000 crore has been allocated for farmer loan waiver, Rs 22,000 crore has been allocated for the irrigation sector and a large amount of funds have been allocated for SLBC, Shivannagudem, Brahmana Vellemula, Palamuru-Rangareddy and Seetharama Onti projects in southern Telangana.
He said that the trial run of the Brahmana Vellaimula project would be conducted in 10 days and the canals would be completed by December. He said a new machine will be brought from the US to complete the SLBC tunnel at the earliest.
Apart from the pending projects in Nalgonda, Palamuru-Rangareddy projects will be completed. The Minister announced that multi-purpose hostels will be set up in an area of 20 acres with Rs 80 crore in each Assembly constituency.
Nakrekal MLA Vemula Veerasam accompanied the Minister.
Later, the Minister received complaints from the public at the Municipal Park near the camp office.
