Kerala Budget: Rs 2,000 crore for SilverLine project
The Kerala government presented Budget 2022-23 in the state Assembly on Friday, setting forth its focus on knowledge economy and linking skill with production.
No major tax burdens were announced for the common man despite a financial crunch triggered by the Covid pandemic, but there was no expansion of welfare schemes, a usual highlight of the state’s Budgets in the past, either.
The government has also announced Rs 2,000 crore for K-Rail’s SilverLine project, indicating the LDF government’s resolve to go ahead amidst criticism it was ignored by the recently announced Union Budget.
