The Narendra Modi government at the Centre and K Chandrasekhar Rao government in Telangana are adopting strange strategies in presenting the annual budgets for the Centre and the state respectively.
According to Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee (TPCC) spokesperson Syed Nizamuddin, the people across the country and Telangana State were witnessing a strange situation.
The NDA government at the Centre has only three months left for its tenure. But it wants to present a full-fledged budget which is not only unconstitutional, but also against all norms, rules and established Parliamentary practices.
On the other side, the Telangana Rashtra Samithi government, which got a mandate for next five years, wants to come up with a Vote-on-Account or interim budget.
“Both BJP and TRS does not want to follow the Constitution,” he said.
Nizamuddin said that there was no valid reason for the TRS government to defer the presentation of full-fledged budget and go for an vote on account budget for three months.
“KCR has claimed that the State Government wants to come up with a vote-on-account due to lack of clarity on Centre’s financial contribution to State’s schemes or devolution of funds.
“The State government should take an average of Central funds it got during the last five financial years and include them as estimate for 2019-20. This can be revised later.
“Therefore, the State Government should present the budget based on its own estimated revenues and proposed expenditures,” he said.
