2018: tensions with BJP soar, ease after talks with Jaitley

March 6, 2018: The Times of India

An easing of tensions between BJP and TDP seemed evident after a cordial meeting of the regional party’s leaders with finance minister Arun Jaitley on Monday evening after some heated moments in Parliament during the day.

The meeting lowered temperatures after the government seemed ready to make a statement in Parliament detailing its financial assistance provided to Andhra Pradesh. TDP has been alleging that the Centre has failed to deliver on fiscal commitments following the creation of Telangana in 2014.

There has been some exasperation in BJP ranks over TDP’s disruption of Parliament over “injustice” to Andhra Pradesh since the first half of the Budget session. TDP, for its part, had not been satisfied with the Centre’s statement that it would find ways to support financial demands raised by the state.
