ANDHRA PRADESH- A Bureaucratic Exercise

A Bureaucratic Exercise M Shatrugna In the 1992-93 budget the Janardhan Reddy government in Andhra Pradesh has allocated Rs 147.50 crore for developmental programmes at the assembly constituency level as part of 'decentralised planning'. The Congress(l) with 200 MLAs will corner the bulk of the allocation. The squande sing of such a large amount of public money for 'planning' is to be seen against the background of increasing dissident activity against Janardhan Reddy.
