For fulfilling these announcements investment of more than Rs 20000 crores would be required which the government does not have but CM Chouhan continues to decide and announce announcements having financial burden.
The debt over the state which was around Rs 1.61 lakh crore in the last financial year has increased to Rs 1.68 lakh crore. According to these figures each person of the state owns a debt of Rs 22400. The latest figure of debt over state government due to availing loan from World Bank, JICA, GEF, DFID, DIB and other banks the state is having a debt of Rs 1.9 lakh crores.
