Interstate Council will be more effective: Yanamala Rama Krishnudu

Hyderabad: Andhra Pradesh finance minister Yanamala Ramakrishnudu said instead of replacing the Planning Commission with another institution, it will be better to reactivate the Interstate Council. Merely changing the name of the Planning Commission and setting up another similar institution would not serve any purpose. He said that the institution’s character should be changed as the Planning Commission has no statutory powers and it was constituted just with a government order. He said that in the Interstate Council will be more effective as all Chief Ministers will be its members.
