'Stop discrimination to Kerala's fiscal requirements,' CPI(M) Central Committee tells Union Govt

Thiruvananthapuram, Jan 19 (UNI) The CPI (M) Central Committee on Sunday alleged that the BJP Government at the Centre is adopting a discriminatory and negative attitude to Kerala’s fiscal requirements.
"Kerala is entitled to Rs 24,915 crores as public borrowing for the year 2019-20. This has been unilaterally reduced by the Centre to Rs 16,602 crores in the name of neutralising the alleged increase in public account debt in 2016-17," the Central Committee said in a statement.
Alleging that the GST compensation of Rs 1,600 crore due in December has not been paid, it said the arrears on account of MGNREGS is Rs 1,215 crore and for payment for paddy procurement is Rs 1,035 crore. "Kerala has been denied any allocation for natural calamity relief despite submitting a claim for Rs 2,100 crore," it added.
