Economic crisis in Kerala; Chief Minister blames central government

Thiruvananthapuram: In a recent address at the state conference of the Kerala PSC Employees Union, Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan pointed fingers at the central government, holding them responsible for the financial challenges facing the state. This accusation comes amid growing criticism of the state government’s handling of issues such as tax collection and fiscal management.

Chief Minister Vijayan’s comments reflect a recurring trend of shifting blame to the central government when faced with criticism over various government shortcomings. He specifically mentioned the ineffectiveness of state tax collection efforts until the Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) audit.

One of the key issues raised by the Chief Minister was the alleged denial of Kerala’s rightful share by the central government. He cited the declining revenue from the Goods and Services Tax (GST) as a significant contributing factor to the state’s ongoing financial crisis.

However, it’s worth noting that the 15th Finance Commission has already clarified and determined Kerala’s income and expenditure while providing eligible financial assistance. This raises questions about the Chief Minister’s insistence on placing blame on the central government.

The Chief Minister appears to be shifting blame to the central government for the current crisis, while it is widely believed that the crisis has been primarily caused by extravagant and ineffective economic reforms, such as expenses related to helicopter travel and the Lok Kerala Sabha initiative.
