Rajasthan has sought the Centre’s cooperation in the financial and policy domains to ensure socio-economic development of States in the true spirit of cooperative federalism. Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot said the economic slowdown during the COVID-19 pandemic had adversely affected the fiscal position of all States. In a meeting with NITI Aayog members over the weekend, Mr. Gehlot said since the need to increase the scope of social security was being felt more during the pandemic, the Union government should provide cooperation for expediting and smoothly conducting social and economic welfare activities. Mr. Gehlot interacted with NITI Aayog member Ramesh Chand, senior advisor Yogesh Suri and advisor Rajnath Ram. He said it was not easy for any State to bring the economy back on track without the Centre’s cooperation.More Related News
