Each Chhattisgarhiya indebted to Rs 6363: Cong

Raipur, May 24, 2013

Rebutting government’s claims that Chhattisgarh had reached to better financial condition, Congress on Friday said the state had rather indebted to Rs 13227 crore. 

“In fact, each Chhattisgarhiya is indebted to Rs 6363. This happened despite chief minister Raman Singh holding finance department’s portfolio. It is mismanagement of the finance department that weakened the state’s financial condition,” said Congress general secretary Bhupesh Baghel and chief party spokesperson Shailesh Nitin Trivedi. 

“The state is facing financial crisis because the government failed to check unwanted expenditures and grafts. Besides, it has sold state’s mineral resources including iron-ore, bauxite, coal blocks to private companies. The state forests too have shrunk from 44% to 39% under BJP regime. Eventually, the government is left with no option than to take loan from Reserve Bank of India (RBI). It should tell why this circumstance occurred,” they asked.

They pointed that the CM’s announcements during government’s vikas yatra would never reach to practical footing as state lacked funds to implement new schemes and projects.
