Telangana Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy announced in the Legislative Assembly on Wednesday that the state government has decided to boycott the NITI Aayog meeting scheduled for July 27.
This decision is in protest against the alleged actions of the Centre, which are perceived to be detrimental to the state’s rights, including the withholding of funds due to Telangana. Revanth Reddy stated, “As Chief Minister of Telangana, (I am) boycotting the NITI Aayog meeting for hurting Telangana’s interests, not releasing the funds due to Telangana and for not giving the permissions due to be given to Telangana.”
Additionally, the Assembly passed a resolution condemning the Centre’s perceived discrimination towards the state in the Union Budget after a day-long debate. It is worth noting that the BJP opposed the resolution.
