‘Naidu’s allegations on YSRCP govt manipulative’

Amaravati, PTI: YSRCP leader K Govardhan Reddy on Wednesday accused Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu of making false and manipulative claims about the fiscal status of Andhra Pradesh during the previous YS Jagan Mohan Reddy-led government to mislead people. Citing a Niti Aayog report, Naidu recently said that the fiscal health of Andhra Pradesh under Jagan Mohan Reddy for fiscal 2022-23 stood at the 17th position out of 18 states, beneath Bihar, Odisha, Jharkhand and others, beset by financial challenges and that it was not even in a position to service debt.
