Dismisses charges that State was being pushed into debt trap
Industries and IT Minister K.T. Rama Rao has asserted that the State government is incurring capital expenditure for improving infrastructure and improving productivity of the assets for future generations.
“Investments on infrastructure should be looked at as capital expenditure, not debt. This is the investment for the future,” he said.
Replying to a question during the Question Hour in the Assembly on Monday, Mr. Rama Rao dismissed the charges that State was being pushed into debt trap by the present dispensation. The boom in economic activity witnessed at present was because of the investment made in the infrastructure and value being created, he said.

When fed into Latin, pusilla comes out denoting “very small”. The Baillon’s crake can be missed in the field, when it is at a distance, as the magnification of the human eye is woefully short of what it takes to pick up this tiny creature. The other factor is the Baillon’s crake’s predisposition to present less of itself: it moves about furtively and slides into the reeds at the slightest suspicion of being noticed. But if you are keen on observing the Baillon’s crake or the ruddy breasted crake in the field, in Chennai, this would be the best time to put in efforts towards that end. These birds live amidst reeds, the bulrushes, which are likely to lose their density now as they would shrivel and go brown, leaving wide gaps, thereby reducing the cover for these tiddly birds to stay inscrutable.
