MP Vinod demands centre for more funds to Telangana

Departments of Panchayati Raj, Rural Development and Sanitation are facing average cuts of 25 per cent. The RE for the health sector expenditure is proposed to be Rs. 7,000 crore lower than what was originally envisaged in the Budget which we had already passed. The arbitrary cuts in the budget allocations amount to attack on democracy. Any budget cuts cannot be made without following any democratic process or without any discussion in this august House.
In the given circumstances, in the list of Supplementary Demands for Grants, we have the Ministries of Drinking Water and Sanitation, Defence, Heavy Industries, Industrial Policy and Promotion, Power, etc. … (Interruptions) As we are going to pass these Demands and Appropriation Bills, I would like to make a comment that the new State of Telangana has taken up 2-3 ambitious projects like water grids. We are going to connect all the 10,000 villages in the Telangana State and each household will get a drinking water pipeline. May I know whether this Appropriation Bill will increase allocation for the Ministry of Drinking Water and Sanitation? I request the hon. Minister to allocate more funds to the State of Telangana.
With regard to the rural water tanks, I would say this. You are well aware; you are the Chairman of the Water Resources Committee, where I am also a member. We are going ahead with an ambitious programme of ‘repair, restore and renovate water bodies in the rural areas’. My State of Telangana has already taken up this programme by repairing about 44,000 water bodies.
In the Revised Estimates also, we are allocating more funds; I also request the Finance Minister to be gracious enough to allocate some more funds. The ultimate issue on which we have to concentrate is health sector. Recently, I am very happy that the Department of Chemicals and Fertilizers announced an ambitious programme of Janoushadhi Pharmacies. So, the Government should allocate some funds for opening up of such pharmacies across the country so that the poor can purchase generic drugs in those pharmacies.
