Hyderabad, March 13 Union Minister Bandi Sanjay Kumar on Friday refuted the Congress government's narrative that "the Centre is doing nothing for Telangana," citing several decisions made by the BJP-led NDA government in the past week.
The Union Minister of State for Home pointed out that the Centre has announced support of Rs 884 crore for the procurement of 1.25 lakh MT of urad, sunflower, and other crops from Telangana farmers, and has approved 18,213 houses for the state under the PM Awas Yojana-Urban scheme.
"Under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Telangana continues to receive strong support for infrastructure, farmers, housing, and heritage. Facts matter more than false propaganda," he said in a post on X.
According to Sanjay Kumar, two new Amrit Bharat trains from Cherlapalli to Nagercoil and Kamakhya have been announced, while two historic temples in the Mulugu district are set to receive national monument status under the ASI protection.
He also said that Rs 3,175 crore has been approved to widen NH-167 from Gudebellur to Mahabubnagar on the Hyderabad-Panaji Economic Corridor.
