‘Centre diverting TS contribution to tax pool to BJP-ruled States’
Industries and IT Minister and TRS working president K.T. Rama Rao has faulted State BJP president Bandi Sanjay Kumar for his claims on funds released by the Central government to Telangana.
He accused Mr. Sanjay of spreading lies on funds released to the State by the Centre and said that the Centre was in fact “diverting the State’s contribution to the tax pool to BJP-ruled States like Uttar Pradesh”. “Taxpayers’ money is being diverted from Telangana to other States,” he said.
He asserted that he was prepared to quit his ministerial post if Mr. Sanjay’s claims were true. “I am prepared to resign as a Minister if Mr. Sanjay can prove his claims. He should substantiate his charges with proofs or else quit from his post,” KTR said.
