Terms & conditions applicable to non-BJP ruled

New Delhi, July 08: Not only Andhra Pradesh is being underprivileged of funds by the Centre, even the Telangana government is in the same condition.

In the first quarter of this financial year, Telangana had received only Rs. 100 crore as grant-in-aid as against Rs. 1,000 crore received in the comparable span last year.

However, BJP-ruled States Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh have received more than Rs. 3,000 crore in the first term. Not at all has the Centre released funds for Centrally-sponsored schemes.

While the Centre alleges that the States have not submitted utilization-certificates, the State government says it has adhered to with all the measures.

As a result of this lack of support from the Centre, the State government had to divert Rs. 5,000 crore from the 'Rythu Bandhu' scheme for other expenses.

Thus, the situation in Telangana is no different but, the government there has not released a media war (or) anything of that sort on the Centre.

There is no threat to the TRS from either BJP (or) Congress. It is adequately fixed to win 2019 and besides, the TRS has an indirect understanding with the BJP and will maintain the upper hand if BJP needs its support in 2019.

On the other hand, in Andhra Pradesh, the yellow Party has launched a wide-ranging war on the BJP as it faces rigid opposition from the YSRCP.

The contradiction of assistance to TDP will prove advantageous to YSRCP but the TDP is having success in projecting this lack of assistance as a collaborative BJP-YSRCP-Jana Sena plan.

Right now, there is only one thing in the minds of the people of Andhra Pradesh which is stupendous doubt!

And finally, it is the politicians who always end up as defeaters!

What does it matter which Party they belong to?
