“The Union Budget which has any outlay of Rs 45 lakh crore has done injustice to Telangana. Issues such as Bayyaram steel factory, Kazipet railway factory and national status

Prime Minister Narendra Modi's poll promises such as doubling the income of farmers by 2022, house for every poor person and providing two crore jobs every year were not
