Allocation of funds for rail projects in Telangana raised: Ashwini Vaishnaw
Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw on Friday said the Narendra Modi government has increased allocation of funds to Rs 3,048 crore for railway projects in Telangana this year.
He alleged that the State government has not given its share of funds for the implementation of the multi-modal transport system (MMTS) in Hyderabad as per the agreement between the Centre and the State.
The remarks came against the backdrop of the ruling TRS alleging that the NDA government at the Centre meted out a raw deal to Telangana in allocation of funds and other developmental projects.
During 2009-14 when the UPA was in power, the fund allocated to undivided Andhra Pradesh for railway projects was Rs 886 crore per year, Vaishnaw told reporters here.
