Reacting strongly to the conditions laid out by the Central govt, Telangana CM KCR slammed the 20 Lakh Crore Economic Package. He said that states are not subordinate to the Central govt and they have more responsibilities on them. “The cooperative federalism mentioned by the Prime Minister is bogus, a farce,” KCR said. He said the central govt is blackmailing the state govts and is “holding a knife to our necks”.
Announcing the last tranche of Rs 20 Lakh Crore Economic Package, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said that the borrowing limit for the state governments under the Fiscal Responsibility and Budget Management (FRBM) Act has been increased from 3% to 5%, but with certain conditions.
This includes implementing central schemes like One Nation One Ration Card, ease of doing business, power distribution and urban local body revenues etc.
