To a question on the financial position of the state government, Reddy said the new government would attempt to streamline revenue and expenditure flows and ensure that every rupee of the loans that had been taken was spent productively.

Even without an alliance with Telengana Rashtriya Samiti, the Congress would have done well but the tie-up helped both the parties, he said.
