**Hyderabad, March 19, 2025** – Union Minister G. Kishan Reddy, also president of the Telangana BJP, sharply criticized the state’s recently released budget, labeling it as “grand announcements with zero implementation.” In a statement released Wednesday, Mr. Reddy accused the state government of misleading the people of Telangana over the past 15 months, citing insufficient budgetary allocations to support its election promises.
Mr. Reddy highlighted a significant discrepancy between projected and actual GST revenue, claiming a ₹5,000 crore shortfall compared to last year’s budget figures. He further criticized the budget’s reliance on projected revenue from liquor sales, arguing that it demonstrates a disregard for the welfare and development of the state. He asserted that the budget’s estimates were unrealistic and lacked a solid understanding of revenue generation capabilities.
