Led by leader of Opposition N Chandrababu Naidu major parties criticized the Railway budget on the grounds that it did not bring anything new to the State. Chandrababu Naidu said in Guntur that the State got a raw deal.
“Though the Minister of state for Railways hails from the State, we could not get any major projects,” he said. The state continues to get a raw deal and this time it was not new, he said.
The number Congress MPs representing the State does not reflect in the projects allotted to the state, he said. The CPM said that the budget is a jugglery of figures, while TRS said Chief Minister has failed to convene a meeting to send the proposals in time. YSRCP said that the budget was disappointing.
