APCC condemns Yanamala's budget

Andhra Pradesh Congress Committee chief spokesperson and MLC Rudraraju Padmaraju on Thursday described the Andhra Pradesh Budget 2014-15 presented by Finance Minister Yanamala Ramakrishnudu as 'directionless'.

Speaking to media persons in the Congress Legislature Party office here, Rudraraju said that the AP Government has failed to allocate sufficient funds for the priority sectors. He said that the budget lacked clarity on the State's development. Further, due to lack of vision by Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu, several Congress schemes were presented with new names.

Rurdraraju said that the government has not clarified its strategy to deal with waiver of farm loans or the new capital for the residuary State.
