Covid revival package of Rs 20,000 crore, no fresh taxes in Kerala's budget

Grappling with the Covid-19 pandemic, the CPI(M)-led LDF government in Kerala announced a Rs 20,000 crore revival package and allocated Rs 1,500 crore for free vaccination in its 'health oriented' budget on Friday, while not imposing any fresh taxes.
Special loan schemes for financial rejuvenation, relief package for conservation and infrastructure improvement in the coastal areas and significant allocation to address extreme poverty also found a place in the first budget of the second Pinarayi Vijayan government for 2021-22 fiscal.
While the oppositionCongress-led UDF flayed the maiden budget of the Vijayan government as a "political stunt", the BJP-NDA dubbed it as a "disappointment".
