Responding to the Union Budget 2022, the Chief Minister criticized the finance minister for being self-deceived. "The centre allocated Rs 12,800 crore for the upliftment of SCs and STs but the Telangana state itself allocated Rs 33,600 crore in the SC and ST sub-plan. He also blamed centre for lying about the population of SC. Even as 700 farmers died during the farmers movement, the funds provided in the budget were nil," Rao said.
