These statements come at a time when there are speculations that TDP might break its alliance with the BJP. The ruling TDP government in Andhra Pradesh has been upset with the Narendra Modi government over the funds allotted to the state in the Union Budget. The state has been pressuring the Centre for additional funds to the state.
TDP even joked that the combined collection of Rajmouli’s Baaahubali is bigger than what has been announced by Arun Jaitley for Andhra Pradesh in the Union budget.
This fund allocation has become so big issue in the state that some TDP leaders even suggested party breaking its alliance with BJP.
