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.
