Chandrashekhar Rao has written to PM Modi for not attending the 7th Governing Council meeting of NITI Aayog. At the same time, Rao accused the central government of giving fewer powers to the states.
“Sufficient powers are not being given to the states to design and modify the schemes based on their needs and conditions to ensure maximum benefits to the people,” he said. This is the biggest reason for my displeasure against the Centre. ,
KCR further said in the letter, “I find micro-management schemes of the Centre, which meet state-specific needs, are left to individual states.”
According to a press release by Neeti Ayog, The Government of India has been consistently supporting states in financial matters including flagship schemes/ programmes of national importance. Overall allocation under Centrally Sponsored Schemes has increased from Rs. 2,03,740 crores in 2015-16 to Rs. 4,42,781 crores in 2022-23, i.e. more than double during this period, in addition to the substantial hike in awards under the Fourteenth Finance Commission from 32% to 42%. Enough flexibility has also been built in for the utilization of funds allocated under CSS.
It is unfortunate that the Hon’ble Chief Minister of Telangana has chosen not to participate in the Governing Council meeting of NITI Aayog to be held on 7th August. The Governing Council is a forum where the highest political leaders in the country at the Centre and State levels deliberate on key development-related issues and agree on appropriate outcome-oriented solutions for national development.
