Well, the Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister expressed his grief over Centre attitude towards the problems of the state. Chandrababu asks Centre about how can the problems be dealt unless there is no financial aid extended.

Addressing the media, Babu said “Even though Centre's recommendation for increasing the tax share by 10 per cent is appreciable, its recommendation for providing funds to the AP state to meet budget deficit is not really enough. I have told them that people of residuary AP state have not asked for bifurcation of the state, but they were forced to accept the political decision taken by the UPA government."

He also added" The financial situation of the state has been very bad. Hence, I appealed the commission to recommend the union government to provide sufficient funds until the state reaches ‘level-playing-stage’ with neighboring states.” He questioned the Centre “The funds granted to the state are sufficient for paying employees’ salaries and maintenance of the government, but from where we will generate funds for development activities in the state?”

Speaking about the Centre's ignorant way, Babu said “I asked the Finance Commission to grant Rs.1.41 lakh crores to overcome its problems but it not even recommends ½ of it. There was Rs.16, 000 crore deficit in the budget in the last financial year, but the Centre has granted Rs. 500 crores only. The deficit may carry forward into the next financial year budget also." He also added "However, Centre is granting Rs.6, 000 crores only for it. We may not recover from this deficit even after these funds release. Hence, Center should liberally grants funds to the AP state. “ Do you think Chandrababu emotion was reasonable?
