Hyderabad: Leader of Opposition in the Legislative Council Mohammed Ali Shabbir on Friday said, “Chief Minister and Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) Chief K Chandrashekar Rao was ‘sher’ in Hyderabad and ‘billi’ in Delhi as he failed to get adequate funding for the State in Union Budget-2018.”

Addressing a press conference jointly along with Deputy Leader of Congress in the Council Ponguleti Sudhakar Reddy, Shabbir said while Andhra Pradesh MPs and Telugu Desam Party (TDP) leaders were vociferously fighting for Special Status, the TRS MPs and government had failed to voice their protest in Parliament even as a pittance of Rs 450 crore was granted in budget against a demand for Rs 42,000 crore. The TRS MPs had failed to raise issues of Bayyaram Steel Plant, Kaleswaram project etc. promised to Telangana in the AP Reorganisation Act -2014.

Shabbir said the TRS government had totally failed to pursue the 12 per cent Muslim reservation Bill and 10 per cent ST Bill for ratification of the Parliament even after months of its passage in State Assembly. Shabbir said the TRS had utterly failed in providing a good MSP for red gram, red jowar and turmeric farmers in Ranga Reddy, Nizamabad and Khammam districts of Telangana. “The neighbouring Karnataka government had given a bonus of Rs 400 per quintal for these crops in addition to the MSP of Rs 5,600 and put up 40 purchasing centres in each constituencies of Bidar, Raichur and Gulbarga districts,” he said.
