Amid growing resentment against the BJP over the Centre’s discrimination towards Telangana, BRS working president KT Rama Rao accused the BJP-led NDA government of neglecting Telangana’s infrastructure needs despite the State electing eight BJP MPs. He pointed out that the Union government had not allocated any funds for expansion of the Hyderabad Metro Rail even in the latest budget.

“Despite Telangana’s significant support to the BJP during challenging times, the BJP government has failed to sanction a single penny for the Hyderabad Metro Rail expansion,” he remarked, pointing out that multiple representations to the Union government were ignored.
