Addressing a press conference here today, Leader of Opposition in Telangana State Legislative Council Mohammed Ali Shabbir said Union Finance Minister Arun Jaitley has announced a special package of Rs. 2.25 lakh crore for Andhra Pradesh. But the Finance Minister did not even mention a word on the status of promises made to Telangana under the APRA. "At the time of bifurcation, the then UPA Government had given several assurances to Telangana which included setting up of Bayyaram steel plant, 4,000 MW power plant at Ramagundem, Horticulture and Tribal Universities, Central institutions and other sops. However, not a single promise made in the Act has been fulfilled so far. Who is responsible for this? TRS Government in the State or BJP-led NDA Government at the Centre?" he asked. He demanded that the Centre extend a financial package to Telangana on par with Andhra Pradesh.Please log in to get detailed story.Tags: #TRS govt fail to press centre on honouring promises made to Telangana: Shabbir Ali
