Himachal Pradesh Chief
Minister Jai Ram Thakur on Tuesday accused the previous Congress government of
pushing the state to a financial crisis with a Rs 46,500 crore debt.
He said it was shameful that the party which ruled the state
for decades had done little in the name of development, except borrowing loans
and creating financial mismanagement.
Addressing a public rally here, Thakur said the new
government would spend every single pie received from the Central government
for people's development and welfare.
He said he met Union Finance Minister Arun Jaitley and Prime
Minister Narendra Modi, who promised him all possible assistance to overcome
the debt.
Officers have been asked to prepare proposals to overcome the
debt, he said, adding the major challenge before him was to take the government
out of the financial mess.
The Chief Minister said his government would not follow the
revengeful attitude as was the case during the previous government.
