HYDERABAD: Former finance minister Harish Rao has launched a scathing attack on the state budget, calling it unfair and imbalanced. He accused the government of failing to allocate funds effectively, leading to disparities in development. Rao expressed concerns over the budget’s priorities, stating that essential sectors such as education, healthcare, and rural development have been sidelined.
Slamming the financial allocations, he questioned the government’s commitment to equitable progress and warned that neglecting crucial sectors could harm the state’s long-term growth.

Rao’s sharp criticism has sparked a heated political debate, with opposition parties echoing his concerns and demanding a revision of the budget to address these issues.
