KCR who is planning to play key role in third front, has questioned Delhi’s over-intereference in states. He also touched the financial aspects and lambasted Center for giving pittance to Telangana state. He said that Telangana has got only ₹ 81,362 crore from the Centre in the last four years while the contribution of Telangana State to Centre’s revenues was two-and-a-half times more.

KCR said, center released only what was guaranteed under Article 270 of the Constitution under which taxes are collected by the Centre and shared with the State governments. Centre did not give ₹ 1 more than this constitutionally guaranteed amount. Center did not even consider the recommendation of NITI Aayog to sanction ₹ 19,000 crore to Mission Bhagiratha and ₹ 5,000 crore to Mission Kakatiya programmes.

KCR also revealed, for setting up Horticulture University was at least ₹ 300 crore needed but the Centre released only ₹ 135 crore so far. KCR also remarked, the budget allocations for was negligible Kazipet Railway coach factory and new highways in the state. In addition, ₹ 450 crore was yet to be sanctioned and released as backward area grants to Telangana, KCR said.

Overall, KCR also joined the bandwagon of leaders who are fighting Modi for doing injustice to their states.
