Hyderabad: A month ahead of the first anniversary of the creation of Telangana, a top minister in the TRS government accused the Narendra Modi government of being "more generous" to Andhra Pradesh which is ruled by Chandrababu Naidu's TDP, a key ally at the Centre.
"The Centre took almost nine months to give Telangana its share of IAS officers... The bifurcation of the High Court has still not happened, while division of state employees by a Centre-appointed committee is yet to be completed," K Taraka Rama Raa, son of TRS chief and Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao, said.
"If the central government was a little more helpful, we could have done a lot better," he told Press Trust of India.
The TRS government completes one year in office on June 2, the day the new state - carved out of Andhra Pradesh - was born.
Mr Rao, the state's Panchayati Raj and Information Technology Minister, also feels the "friction" between Telangana and the residual state of Andhra Pradesh over issues like river water sharing is "natural".
"There are issues between Karnataka and Tamil Nadu, between Maharashtra and (the then undivided) Andhra Pradesh. This is not unnatural or out of the world.
"When a process like this (bifurcation) happens, there is bound to be some fallout. We (Telangana government) have behaved in a much more mature fashion than expected," he said.
