Finance Minister K.N. Balagopal on Saturday urged the United Democratic Front (UDF) to fight for the State’s rightful share from Central pool instead of blaming the State government for the State’s financial situation.
Despite the adverse fiscal policies of the Central government, the State government was successful in ensuring that the people were not denied their benefits, Mr. Balagopal told a press conference here.
Kerala had reported high revenue growth in the past two years, but the large cuts in its share imposed by the Centre were presenting problems for the State, he said.
