Hyderabad, March 24 -- Peddapalli Congress MP Gaddam Vamsi Krishna launched a sharp attack on the Centre, accusing it of consistently ignoring Telangana's interest, unfair fund allocation and discrimination against Dalits.

During a debate on the Finance Bill, Vamsi Krishna alleged that the southern state contributes hugely in taxes but receives nothing in return from the Union government.

"Peddapalli has Ramagundam Fertilisers and Chemicals Limited (RFCL), the National Thermal Power Corporation Limited (NTPC) and Singareni Collieries Company Limited (SCCL). In total, my constituency contributes Rs 25,000 crore to Rs 30,000 crore, but gets back only Rs 100 to Rs 150 crore, which is equivalent to peanuts. This is not fair," he said.
