The Congress party on Friday found fault with Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao and his AP counterpart N Chandrababu Naidu for not protesting against the Railway Budget presented by the Narendra Modi government.
TPCC vice-president Mohd Ali Shabbir expressed surprise over the reaction of Nizamabad MP and KCR's daughter K Kavitha praising the Railway Budget.
"She is praising Prime Minister Narendra Modi as she wants to joint his cabinet. She would’ve condemned the budget if she was really concerned about the people of Telangana," he said.
Shabbir Ali alleged that KCR and Naidu were singing 'bhajans' in praise of Modi only for personal gains.
"Both of them have disappointed the Telugu people and failed to get anything from the Centre. They should either get at least Rs 1,000 Crore each from the Centre or return the allocated budget. We were treated like beggars as the allocated amount is nothing short of alms. We must refuse to accept it," he said.
The Congress leader demanded that KCR should lead a protest at Jantar Mantar and all MPs from Telangana should jointly lodge their protest against the Centre's attitude. He said that the Congress party would fully support and participate in such a protest.
