Minister of State, Home Affairs, G. Kishan Reddy on Saturday said the Telangana Rashtra Samithi government was diverting Centre-allotted funds.
He said the Bharatiya Janata Party-led Centre had provided the rightful share to Telangana, built national highways and commenced the fertilizers factory in Ramagundam for farmers, and had also been supportive of Rythu Bandhu, the Regional Ring Road and Defence production in the State.
