Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu on Saturday announced that the state has earned Rs 26,683 crore in revenue from its own resources over the past two and a half years, Rs 3,800 crore more than the previous government's average revenue.
In a press statement issued here, the chief minister explained that after taking office, his government implemented an auction-cum-tender process for liquor vends, which earned Rs 5,408 crore in revenue, a significant increase from the Rs 1,114 crore generated under the previous dispensation.
"The BJP government did not auction liquor vends, and instead, it followed a policy of annually renewing licenses with a 10 per cent increase in fees. Our government decided to introduce an auction-cum-tender process, and the income to the state exchequer increased considerably, which was not seen during the BJP's tenure," he said.
