As much as Rs. 18 lakh public fund was released to celebrate Telugu Language Day. But no official function was held anywhere either in Amaravati Capital City area or in Vijayawada. Neither Chief Minister nor Ministers took part anywhere. Raising this issue in twitter, Opposition leader Nara Chandrababu Naidu asked what did the government do with those funds. Why not a single garland was presented at Telugu Talli statue to mark the occasion? It seems nobody has interest in this government to do this traditional honour.

Naidu has been criticising the Jagan Reddy government in every aspect on twitter these days. Already, he has made scathing attacks on sand scarcity, Amaravati, Polavaram, etc. Now, Naidu’s target has begun at micro level also. He questioned the government on the issue of Rs. 18 lakh very harshly. The amount was released but there was no activity conducted officially to spend this amount.

The TDP boss has also expressed concern that the song ‘Maa Telugu Talliki Malle Poodanda’ is not being heard at any official function. This is so ever since the present government came to power in the state. Naidu asked what is happening to all those Telugu cultural traditions and conventions in this State under the Jagan Reddy government. Is there nobody to honour and respect the long established traditions?

తెలుగు భాషా దినోత్సవం రోజున, విజయవాడ నడిబొడ్డున ఉన్న తెలుగుతల్లి విగ్రహానికి కనీసం పూలమాల వేసేవారు కూడా లేరంటే, ఈ ప్రభుత్వం తెలుగు భాషకు ఇస్తున్న ప్రాధాన్యత అర్థమవుతుంది. తెలుగు భాషాదినోత్సవానికి ప్రభుత్వం విడుదల చేసిన రూ.18 లక్షలతో ఏం చేసినట్టు? pic.twitter.com/SfyFmejF59
