Jana Sena Party (JSP) political affairs committee chairman Nadendla Manohar has demanded that the government publish a White Paper on its financial position, with a specific mention of its revenue, public debt and capital expenditure incurred in the last three years.
The government claimed that its GST and other tax revenues were higher than the national average in spite of the fact that Andhra Pradesh lagged behind many States in development, he said.
In a press release on Saturday, Mr. Manohar said the GST collections in the first half of FY 2022-23 were ₹6,000 crore more than what was mopped up during the corresponding period the previous year. But the government failed in providing even basic infrastructure, he said.
