Charges made by TDP members a 'propaganda', says BJP
GVL Narasimha Rao
Rao presented a list of institutions, projects, and funds sanctioned for the state by the NDA government and asserted that the Centre has taken utmost care of the state
The BJP today dismissed as "propaganda" claims that the Centre has not done much for Andhra Pradesh's development, and asked its ally TDP to sort out its issues with the government "amicably".
At a press conference, BJP spokesperson GVL Narasimha Rao and state party president and Visakhapatnam MP K Hari Babu presented a list of institutions, projects and funds sanctioned for the state by the NDA government and asserted that the Centre has taken utmost care of the state.
The state has received priority and the Centre is committed to its development, Rao said. Referring to the charges made by Andhra MPs representing TDP and YSRCP, Rao said it was all "propaganda".
TDP chief and Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu on Wednesday asked the Centre to spell out its "formula" for the state with specific timelines, a day after Union Finance Minister Arun Jaitley assured agitating TDP MPs in Parliament that the Centre would soon come out with a plan to release a special financial package to Andhra Pradesh.
Andhra Pradesh chief minister Chandrababu Naidu on Thursday demanded financial support by working out an "extrabudgetary" route to provide funds required for the state's development and reconstruction activities.

“The Centre should clearly spell out what it has done for the state in the last four years and what it will do now. It should announce a plan of action with clear timelines,” Naidu said.
TDP MP P Ravindra Babu had also said, "Whatever CM (chief minister) decides we will stand by it, but we are not happy with the BJP budget, not happy with the budget allotted to Andhra Pradesh."
KHari Babuhighlighted two major issues in a meeting held on Friday --- the revenue deficit the state had inherited at the time of bifurcation and the implementation of special package -- have been sorted out and concerns over other proposed projects and institutions were also addressed.
The Centre will bear all revenue deficit for the entire period of the 14th finance commission and a total of Rs 22,113 crores will be paid to Andhra Pradesh as grant for the five- year period.
The Centre has released a sum of Rs 1,269 crore to AP under different heads in the last few days with the gross grant including Rs 417.44 crore for the Polavaram multipurpose project, one of the contentious issues between the allies TDP and BJP, he said.
