States seek fiscal relief from Centre

States seek fiscal relief from Centre

Two states in India, Kerala and Tamil Nadu, are asking the central government for financial help.

Kerala needs money because of borrowing limits and tax changes.

Tamil Nadu is worried about jobs and money from taxes.

Both states say the central government isn't giving them enough money for important projects like schools, hospitals, and roads.

They also want help with problems like trade issues with the US and taking care of their people.

The central government needs to decide how to help them.
