Nalgonda, July 21 (Hydnow): Legislative Council Chairman Gutha Sukender Reddy alleged that the BJP government at the Centre was adopting a step-motherly attitude towards Telangana State in the allocation of funds and other projects.
Speaking to the media at his residence here on Thursday, Gutha Sukender Reddy said the union government was working against the federal spirit of Indian Constitution and was violating the rights of Indian States.
The Legislative Council Chairman said the Centre owes about Rs 23,000 crore to Telangana, including the arrears of 13th, 14th and 15th Finance Commissions, backward region grant, GST compensation and central-sponsored schemes and the union government has stopped releasing amount to the Telangana.
The people are already suffering from the hike in prices of diesel, petrol and domestic gas cylinder. Adding to their woes further, the union government has indiscriminately increased GST taxes on household commodities. The fresh hike in GST tax on cremation is one of the worst decisions by Modi government,” Gutha Sukender Reddy said.
He demanded that the union government rollback the decision of increasing GST taxes on household commodities and protect the rights of States. (Hydnow)

Chhatriwali Movie Review: Rakul Preet Singh’s film is informative but lags in bits
I could never wrap my head around Bollywood’s obsession with continuously addressing condom as a chhatri or an umbrella. Not only it’s cringe to hear repeatedly but also, it somewhere defeats the whole purpose with which films around these subjects are made. Moreover, picking a taboo subject and making a film on it can turn out to be quite risky if you don’t stick to the agenda and beat around the bush. Thankfully, Rakul Preet Singh’s Chhatriwali, directed by Tejas Prabhaa Vijay Deoskar, doesn’t digress much, and follows a crisp screenplay. There are some flaws here and there, but with all the humour and lighter moments, they can be somewhat overlooked.
