During the 75th Independence Day celebrations at the Indira Gandhi Municipal Corporation stadium on August 15, Chief Minister Y. S. Jagan Mohan Reddy said that the last 16 months have been gruelling for the State government as the crippled the State’s finances. However, he added that the government fought against the ‘invisible enemy’ (COVID-19) with all its might and succeeded to a large extent in curbing the menace with a three pronged approach (testing, tracing and treatment). Mr. Reddy said that due to the Coronavirus pandemic, the government's revenue has fallen sharply while the expenditure soared. He added that while trying to shore up the revenues, the government is spending every single pie responsibly responsibly. Mr. Reddy said huge sums were spent on housing and public health, especially on the containment of Covid. The government came to the rescue of the poor by providing them treatment to various diseases under the Aarogyasri scheme and the government is in the process of giving a major uplift to hospitals and setting up medical colleges. The Chief Minister also noted that the reforms initiated by the government in various sectors were yielding the desired results and claimed that the establishment of village and ward Secretariats was a major step that took governance to people’s doorsteps.
