Naidu, KCR failed to pressurise Centre on budget sops: CPM

Hyderabad : CPI (M) National Secretary B.V. Raghavulu has alleged that Chief Ministers N. Chandrababu Naidu (AP) and K. Chandrashekhar Rao (TS) have failed to get adequate funds for both the Telugu States of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana in the Union Budget. 

Speaking to media persons in Nalgonda on Tuesday, Raghavulu said that the BJP-led NDA Government has done injustice with the Telugu States in allocating funds in Union Budget. He said despite being neglected, Naidu and KCR were not putting any pressure on Prime Minister Narender Modi for sufficient funds. He said that the Central Government has also failed to fulfil the promises made in the Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Act. 

Raghavulu demanded that both the Chief Ministers release a White Paper on the funds received from Centre during the last four years and launch a struggle against the Central Government.
