BJP seeks white paper on pushkaram expenditure

[EarbiteNews]

The Bharatiya Janata Party, an ally of the Telugu Desam Party both at the Centre and in the State, on Thursday demanded a white paper on the expenditure incurred on the just-concluded Krishna Pushkaram. Addressing a press conference here, its State General Secretary S. Suresh Reddy wondered: “How can a cash-strapped State spend a staggering Rs.1,600 crore on the river festival after spending Rs.1, 800 crore during Godavari Mahapushkaram last year.”

Chandrababu Naidu should realise that he is leading a truncated State after bifurcation with huge revenue deficit and focus on financial prudence and prioritising of expenditure,” he suggested, adding that the river festival was bereft of religiosity.
