Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao would meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi on June 15 to discuss various issues concerning the state.

The meeting would take place at 12.30 pm and Rao would leave for New Delhi tomorrow, the Chief Minister's Office said here today.

"The CM will discuss several issues pertaining to the state," it said.

The state government has been taking up several issues, including Centre's nod for increasing reservation for backward sections among Muslims and Scheduled Tribes, linking rural employment scheme NREGA with agriculture, minimum support price for various crops and the new zonal system vis-a-vis government employment.

The state assembly had passed a bill last year enhancing reservation for backward sections among Muslims and Scheduled Tribes.

 

The MPs of ruling TRS had raised these issues in the parliament earlier.
