Bharat Rashtra Samithi MLA and former finance minister T Harish Rao has described the state budget as a ‘big lie’ and alleged that the state government failed to honour pre-election promises.
The BRS leader further alleged that the Congress government had cut 300,000 pensions while promising to provide 200,000 new ones.
He demanded immediate implementation of the ₹2,500 aid promised to women.
State BJP chief N Ramchander Rao also slammed the budget, saying it failed to address people’s demands and was designed only for vote-bank politics.
Telangana chief minister A Revanth Reddy, however, described the state budget as a ‘futuristic’ blueprint that balances development and welfare.
