Andhra Pradesh government has finally decided to look beyond the so called assistance of Center which has been non-cooperative to AP in all possible ways. The Finance Minister, Yanamala Ramakrishnudu today clarified on the assistance gained from the Central government.
He gave a list of all the meager assistance from the Center so far. When presenting the budget, he mentioned how crucial promises such as bridging the 13000 Crore plus revenue deficit, Special Package for Backward districts and Special Status haven’t been addressed till date.
Yanamala went ahead and made allocations to Polavaram and Amaravathi Construction although it is the Center which is constitutionally bound to fund those. Polavaram Project was given 3660 Crore while Center just allocated Rs. 100 Crore for the project.
Amaravathi was given around 1500 Crore in the state budget while Center hasn’t given a single rupee. This 1500 Crore will be used an equity by CRDA to gather more money from the outside markets. The state government said it will wait for some more weeks from Center but started asserting its identity. Babu seems to have become more independent now!
