Telangana state was one of three state which had surplus revenue before becoming a separate state. But after assuming power by TRS( BRS) and now Congress party, Telangana’s treasury has become empty. Debts have mounted, and the state is struggling with a severe fund crunch, he alleged. Fadnavis said Telangana was once a revenue-surplus state. However, the failure, negligence, and incompetence of BRS and Congress rulers have turned it into a mountain of debt. Leaders of both parties have filled their own pockets through corruption and anarchy, neglecting the welfare of the poor and farmers.
