Civil Aviation Minister Ashok Gajapathi Raju stated that the financial package granted to the state by the central government is not enough. We expect much more than that. Being an alliance partner, we expect the central government should be liberal in granting funds to the state. It should implement all the promises made by previous UPA government and in the AP Reorganization Bill. We will pressurize the central government for granting special status to the AP State.
AP State Finance Minister Yanamala Ramakrishnudu also said he is disappointed with the package. This gives a scope to the Congress party and YSR Congress parties to aim their guns at TDP and the BJP. Hence, TDP may communicate with BJP high command and ensure sufficient funds are allocated to the state in the financial budget.
