💨 Abstract

The Kerala government has claimed improvement in the state's fiscal position despite financial restrictions from the Centre. However, the opposition Congress-led UDF has questioned this, stating the state's average growth in the last three years was only 6.7%, tax collection was improper, and planned expenditure was cut by 50% or more in all departments, leading to an increase in revenue and fiscal deficit.
