Centre to release funds to AP soon

Four months are over but so far Modi government has not released a single rupee to Andhra Pradesh state, despite serious efforts by Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu and his ministers for the same. However, their efforts mat yield fruitful results very soon, says Ms Nirmala Sitaraman Union Minister of Commerce.

While taking part in in ‘Swachcha Bharat’ program conducted by CM Chandrababu Naidu at Vijayawada two days ago, she said Centre may start releasing funds for AP state beginning from October 15th. She reiterates her government’s interest to grant special status to the state. She promised the people of the state, being their daughter-in-law and representative in Rajyasabha, she will do her best to help the state in all aspects.

So, one can believe that definitely Centre is going release the funds to state anytime after October 15th because the announcement comes from none other than Union Minister for Commerce. However, it is learnt that special status to the state may take few more months’ time as the existing planning commission was abolished a new mechanism is to replace it soon.
