 "Punjab Congress president Captain Amarinder Singh")
The ruling Congress party in Punjab has asked people in the state to hoist the national flag on May 1 from their homes and rooftops to protest the Centre’s “discrimination” against non-BJP-ruled states.
In neighbouring Rajasthan, Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot has suggested a 15-point formula to the prime minister for the way ahead, which includes demands such as freedom to states for taking a call on allowing economic and industrial activities and a stimulus package for industry and trade.
Gehlot has recommended the Centre should give states a grant of Rs 1 trillion, encourage increased fiscal expenditure for economic revival, increase GST
