Gandhi, who began his 'one question a day' series yesterday with the BJP's promises in the last polls, today focused on Gujarat's debt burden.
My second question to prime minister on the state of affairs in Gujarat. In 1995, total debt on Gujarat was Rs 9,183 crore. In 2017, the total debt on Gujarat was 2.41 lakh crore. That means a debt of Rs 37,000 on every Gujarati.
Why should the people of Gujarat pay up the price for your financial mismanagement and publicity? he tweeted.
22 salon ka hisaab, Gujarat mange jawaab (Gujarat demands answers for 22 years of BJP rule, he tweeted yesterday.
He went on to ask Modi whether it would take 45 more years to provide new houses to Gujaratis, as the incumbent BJP government had provided only 4.72 lakh houses in the last five years against the promised 50 lakh.
