Kerala Governor Arif Mohammed Khan on Monday said recent measures to curtail borrowing capacities of the states have constrained their efforts in various social and infrastructure sectors.
Reading out the policy document of the state government in the Assembly, the Governor said while fiscal discipline has to be enforced, there cannot be different yardsticks for the Centre and the states.
Khan said that for the body politic of the nation to be strong, it needs strong limbs and since states have heavy responsibilities in the social sectors, their fiscal position has to be strong.
“Recent measures to curtail the borrowing limits of the States constrain the scope of their interventions in the health, education and infrastructural sectors.
