TRS party working president K T Rama Rao Saturday termed the union budget as "extremely disappointing and insipid" from Telanganas perspective.

In a series of tweets, Rama Rao, the son of Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao, gave a "thumbs-down" to the #UnionBudget2019.

He also said raising prices on petrol and diesel will lead to escalation of burden on daily consumables of all Indians.

"Extremely disappointing & insipid union budget from Telanganas perspective. Economic survey praises Telanganas initiatives but FM @nsitharaman Ji completely ignores a performing states requests for support," he tweeted.

KTR further said the Telangana government had also sought national status for the recently-inaugurated Kaleshwaram project or or Palamuru lift irrigation project.

"... No mention or even acknowledgement. Are Telanganas projects not in the interest of our nation FM @nsitharaman Ji??," he tweeted.

In another tweet, the TRS leader said "Niti Aayog lauds Mission Kakatiya (lake restoration & strengthening) & Mission Bhagiratha (Drinking water Grid) & recommends to Govt of India to allocate Rs 24,000 Cr to these two schemes of Telangana.

Strangely, Not even Rs 24 allocated by FM @nsitharaman Ji."
"...no support for Kakatiya Mega Textile park, not even a mention of ITIR for Hyderabad & zero support for pharmaceutical & life sciences sector where Hyderabad is a Hub."
