Uttarakhand Congress Spokesperson Criticizes BJP Government Over Increasing Debt and Prioritization of Leader Rehabilitation

Garima Mehra Dasauni, the chief spokesperson of the Uttarakhand Pradesh Congress Committee, has strongly reacted to the release of another list of liabilities by the state government. She alleged that the BJP government in Uttarakhand, which is struggling with economic crisis and increasing debt, is engaged in political rehabilitation of its leaders ignoring the interests of the people. Garima Mehra Dasauni said that the debt on the state is continuously increasing. The total debt on the state at the time when the Congress government was out of power in March 2017 was Rs 44,583 crore, which has increased to more than one lakh crore rupees by March 2026. She said that this situation is worrisome and the government should pay attention to financial discipline. She alleged that the government cites lack of resources in terms of development works, health services, education system and employment to the youth, but when it comes to giving responsibilities and facilities to the BJP leaders, the government becomes completely liberal. She termed it as injustice to the people. Garima Dasauni said that by now the government should clarify whether the white paper on these liabilities should be made by the state treasury.
