According to T. Harish Rao, the finance minister for Telangana, the Union government owes the state approximately Rs 1 lakh crore in unpaid grants, cash, and compensation. He informed the assembly that the state owes the Centre Rs. 1,05,812 and that if the funds are given, it will be able to pay off one-third of its total debt of Rs. 3.29 lakh crore. In response to the brief discussion on "Central government dual policy in execution of FRBM Act - Impact on state success," he stated that if the Center provides these monies, the state would not even be necessary to issue new debt.
Harish Rao claimed that the state was suffering as a result of the Centre's unilateral choices and limitations placed on the state's ability to borrow loans under the Fiscal Responsibility and Budget Management (FRBM) guidelines. He rejected the BJP's criticism of the state's indebtedness and asserted that, in contrast to the Union government, which borrowed money to pay off its obligations, the state government used the borrowed money to invest in capital projects and build assets. He cited the state's involvement in irrigation projects such as the kaleshwaram project, Mission Bhagiratha, Mission Kakatiya, and other initiatives that resulted in the creation of state assets.
