If Kerala not getting its due, why is CM not protesting in Delhi?: State BJP
Thiruvananthapuram, Feb 13: State BJP president Ok.Surendran on Monday requested Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan that if the Centre isn’t giving the state its due, why is he not going to Delhi to stage a protest.
“Vijayan, State Finance Minister K.N.Balagopal and CPI(M) state secretary are lying that the Centre is not giving the state its due. Wish to know if this is true then why are they not approaching the Centre in writing,” mentioned Surendran. Why are the 29 MPs not doing something in Parliament, he added.
Surendran went on to level out the state’s share of the income is fastened by the Finance Commission and 41 per cent is awarded to states.
“It’s wrong to state that BJP-ruled states get a bigger share, which just cannot happen and in effect a state like Uttar Pradesh is getting less than what the UPA government used to allocate during their regime. Blatant lies are being said when Kerala is to receive Rs 780 crore from the GST Council, they say Rs 20,000 crores is due,” added Surendran.
He additional identified that throughout the UPA regime 2009-14, Kerala bought Rs 55,058 crore, whereas throughout the Modi rule 2017-22, the state bought Rs 2,29,844.
“Kerala receives one of the highest allocations when it comes to revenue deficit grant and the Centre has given Rs 53,000 crores. If Vijayan feels the Centre has ignored the state’s needs, then he should go to Delhi and stage a protest,” mentioned Surendran.
Ever since Balagopal introduced the state finances on February 3, and proposed a Rs 2 cess on gasoline merchandise, the state has been witnessing an uproar and the Congress-led opposition and the BJP are on a warpath accusing Vijayan of misgovernance and extravagance.
Earlier within the day within the Lok Sabha, Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman in reply to Kerala Lok Sabha member N.Ok.Premachandran elevating this situation, mentioned Kerala has not submitted the AG licensed certificates to be submitted to the GST Council from 2017 onwards and with out doing that they’re blaming the Centre and when it is executed issues can be cleared.
