NEW DELHI: YSRCP Lok Sabha MP Midhun Reddy joined the chorus of state governments seeking a fiscal relief package from the Union government to tide through the crisis triggered by the coronavirus pandemic. In a letter to PM Narendra Modi on April 2, Reddy sought the Union government’s intervention in providing relief to and boost the state’s economy.In his letter, Reddy appreciated the government's move and the direction in which it announced economic relief but emphasised that the coronavirus lockdown had impacted Andhra Pradesh ’s economy and completely “dried up the state’s revenue streams” even as demands on the state's resources have increased. “The longer we wait for an economic stimulus , the more it will cost us to fix the damage done in the end,” Reddy said.He also said that the government should announce fiscal stimulus worth at least 8-10% of India’s GDP and do it as early as possible. Reddy added that should drop its fiscal deficit target and take measures in tandem with the RBI to monetise fiscal deficits and help respective state governments to contain the economic and health crisis.
