80 crore for Telugu Mahasabhalu!
Posted [relativedate] at [relativetime time_format=”H:i”]
Telugu people from 42 nations came to Hyderabad to attend the World Telugu Conference which is organized by the Telangana Government at the LB Stadium in Hyderabad. So, how much did the government spent for this prestigious event that lasted for 5 days?
Authorities informed K Chandrasekhar Rao that Prapancha Telugu Mahasabhalu would put a burden of Rs.50 crore on the State Exchequer. While, Telangana CM, KCR stated the view that a conference lasting for five days is going to cost much higher.
Seeing the foresightedness of KCR, the officials realized, while tallying the total expenditure incurred on the World Telugu Conference. The expenditure touched Rs.80 crore mark, Rs.30 crore extra to the estimates given by them.
According to the sources, for Global Entrepreneurship Summit 2017, anywhere around Rs. 500 crores was spent by the Government. Rs. 100 crore was sanctioned for roads and beautification itself. In that case, Rs.80 crore for Telugu Mahasabhalu is not a big deal for TRS Government.
In spite of spending so much money, many believe that KCR did not invite many prominent people that included poets of Telangana itself. Criticism reaped that this conference is only to fill the pockets of rich and keep the rich society happy.
