Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Y S Jaganmohan Reddy Saturday directed bureaucrats concerned to come up with proposals to increase the state revenue without imposing extra burden on common people.
Reddy also asked officials to prepare a report listing the current financial position and why special status is needed for the state.
He suggested levy of a "green tax" and also "garbage tax" as a way to secure additional revenue to the government.
Three days into office, the new chief minister began preliminary review of government departments here Saturday, beginning with the critical Finance and Revenue.
According to a YSR Congress party release, Reddy asked officials to come up with creative ideas on how to set right the state's "wrecked financial system."
