CM Revanth Reddy appealed to Nirmala Sitharaman to release the pending grant of Rs. 1,800 crore for the years – 2019-20, 2021-22, 2022-23, and 2023-24. The Chief Minister apprised the Union Minister of the management of High Court, Raj Bhavan, Lokayukta, State Human Rights Commission, Judicial Academy, and other public institutions in Hyderabad by the state government after the bifurcation of Andhra Pradesh. State government has already spent Rs. 703.43 crore for the management of the respective institutions until the completion of the division of the institutions. The CM informed the union minister that Andhra Pradesh owed Rs 408.49 crore as its share to the Telangana state. The AP government agreed to pay the amount and the Union Home Ministry also wrote a letter to AP to pay the amount to Telangana.
However, the Andhra Pradesh government did not clear the due till date. The CM pleaded with the union minister to issue orders to AP for the payment of Rs408. 49 to Telangana with interest.
CM Revanth Reddy also brought to the notice of Nirmala Sitharaman the orders issued unilaterally by the union government for the recovery of Rs 2,547.07 crore as Telangana share from the loans borrowed as foreign financial assistance for the projects taken up in the erstwhile Andhra Pradesh. The CM said that the Telangana government already registered a strong protest in this regard but the centre did not accept the plea to relieve Telangana from thepayment burden and requested the union minister to review the matter again and take a proper decision.
The Chief Minister reminded the Union Finance Minister that the union government allocated all the funds related to Centrally Sponsored Schemes only to Andhra Pradesh in 2014-15. The CM told the Union Minister that out of that amount, Rs.495.20 crore has to be transferred from AP to Telangana on the basis of population in the Reorganization Act and appealed to intervene in the matter and release the funds due to Telangana. The AP government did not respond positively despite repeated requests to the Accountant General and Andhra Pradesh, the CM said.
