Will use assembly floor to take fight to BJP: Telangana CM K Chandrasekhar Rao

HYDERABAD: Chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao on Sunday said over the next few days the state assembly will serve as a platform to inform like-minded parties that he is serious about an anti-BJP front at the national level.
During the cabinet meeting, KCR said people of the country must be informed that India can be taken to another level of development with a better dispensation at the national level.He said this would also send a clear message to like-minded parties of his determination to take on BJP at the national level.
"Eight years of hard work by the TRS government has created a platform for the new state of Telangana to be taken to a new level of development making it numero uno on all the fronts in the country," he added
The CM's remarks comes ahead of the budget session which is already hit by a row over omission of customary address by the governor.
The CM directed the ministers to come prepared with the details of schemes, issues and projects where Telangana is number one in the country and at the same time highlight the raw deal meted out to Telangana by the central government.
The chief minister told his cabinet colleagues that despite the step-motherly treatment of the BJP government at the Centre and the first, second and third waves of Covid-19, the economy of Telangana has risen like a phoenix from the ashes due to vibrant policies of the TRS government.
The state government has made major allocations to schemes, mainly Dalit Bandhu getting a major chunk of budget, followed by welfare of SCs, STs, BCs and minorities, education, health, farmers welfare and encouragement to agriculture and alternate crops.
These allocations and achievements of the TRS government should be informed to the people both through the floor of the Assembly and outside the Ho- use,” KCR said. The budget session of the state legislature will com- mence from Monday without the customary address by governor Tamilisai Soundararajan.
Finance minister T Harish Rao will present the bud- get in the assembly at 11.30 am. Legislative affairs minister Vemula Prashanth Reddy is expected to present it in the legislative council. Sources said the state budget for 2022-23 is likely to be a massive one with at least 15% increase over budget of `2.31 lakh crore presented for 2021-22.
