Leader of Opposition in Haryana Assembly Bhupinder Singh Hooda on Thursday, blamed the ruling BJP-JJP government of pushing the State to the brink of economic crisis with rising debt, and demanded a `white paper’ surrounding the spending of money.
“The State has a debt of ₹3,24,448 crore owing to the wrong economic policies of the government. Before 2014, the State’s debt ratio was 16% of GSDP, which has increased to 27.8% now. State liabilities have also increased by 3.13 times. During the entire tenure of previous BJP and current BJP-JJP government, no major project was implemented in Haryana,” he said at a press conference here.
“The development of the State has stopped due to the unsafe environment as no one is ready to invest here, leading to unemployment, breaking all the records in the State. Investment is the most important thing to strengthen the economy, but investment will come in the State only when there is law and order in the State. Fearing criminals, investors are turning to other states instead of Haryana. People of the State are feeling unsafe. Neither the public is safe here nor the public representatives. Even MLAs are getting ransom and death threats,” he said.
