He was speaking on the Telangana Appropriation Bill moved by Finance Minister T.Harisha Rao in the Legislative Assembly here on Monday. In the State’s own tax and non-tax revenue, the shortfall will likely be around ₹25,000 crore, he said. The State might be forced to spend its borrowings to meet revenue expenditure rather than the capital expenditure and this could push the State into a debt trap.

The TRS Party never said it would give 50 lakh jobs and only promised one lakh jobs and kept its word and would give more.
