Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) leader Bikram Singh Majithia expressed concerns about Punjab’s increasing debt crisis, accusing the Aam Aadmi Party government of adding a Rs 1,500 crore loan burden to the state’s finances. Majithia questioned the government’s financial decisions, highlighting the ongoing debt issues and criticizing its reliance on loans rather than fiscal discipline.
He criticized the utilization of the loan amount for what he referred to as extravagant expenses like trips for AAP leaders and government advertisements. Majithia emphasized the need to prioritize sectors in need and provide financial relief to farmers facing economic challenges due to crop losses and natural disasters. He urged the government to fulfill its promises of compensating farmers affected by floods without delay.
Majithia also pointed out the discrepancy between the government’s claims of compensating farmers and the actual situation on the ground in Punjab. He criticized the AAP for failing to keep its promise of reducing Punjab’s debt and accused the government of worsening the state’s economic position by continuously borrowing money.
