Telangana is budget surplus State: KTR

Hyderabad: IT Minister KT Rama Rao on Saturday said Telangana was formed with a surplus budget in 2014 and even today, the State was with a surplus budget.

When the movement for a separate Telangana began in 1968, several questions were raised on the viability of Telangana. However, there were several committees and reports that stated Telangana was a surplus State, he said.

“The argument of those who fought for a separate Telangana since the beginning was that Telangana was, is and will be a surplus State. Likewise, Telangana was formed with surplus budget in 2014, and even today the State is with surplus budget and the same can be seen in the last budget,” KT Rama Rao said.
