Raipur. There was a general discussion on the budget in the assembly on Tuesday. During this, Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel told that apart from Odisha and Tripura, Chhattisgarh is the third state in the country which did not take loan from the market in the financial year 2022-23. Even the old market loan of 2 thousand crores has been repaid by us. Chhattisgarh has a debt burden of 82 thousand 125 crores. The debt burden of Chhattisgarh is very less than the debt burden of the Government of India at 47% of GDP. The situation of 4 thousand 480 crore revenue surplus is till January 2023. During this, the CM ended his talk in a poetic manner.
CM told that the state government had a debt of 14949 crores in the year 2013-14. Which became 41 thousand 695 crores in the financial year 2018-19. Which is three times as compared to 2013. While our loan has almost doubled in the same period. BJP stopped the amount of GST compensation and now they are silent. The state has a loss of more than 5 thousand crores. Coal royalty has also been stopped by the central government. Royalty used to be renewed in 3 years, now that too is not happening. In the situation of January 2023, the per capita debt burden is 27 thousand 139, which is very less as compared to the center. During the Corona period, there was a decrease of 11 thousand crores in the amount coming from the center, while only 4 thousand crore rupees were reduced from the state. CM Bhupesh said on the purchase of paddy
It was the Congress government that started paddy procurement in the state. In the BJP government, farmers used to wait whole night for selling paddy and for payment. This year we have bought 107 lakh metric tonnes of paddy and paddy has been lifted from more than 98 percent societies. Today more than 300 rice mills are open. During the BJP government, paddy used to be transported in scooters. More than 11 lakh farmers who had given up farming have returned. 22 thousand crores have gone into the accounts of the farmers. Farmers and laborers are not with BJP. Announced for multiple classes. in the budget speech. There is no Revadi, the budget will be passed, then the benefits will start from 1st April.
CM lashed out about ED
CM said that the revenue has increased due to ED. This BJP MLA says, we feel sorry for his intelligence. In such a situation, a raid should be put in the central office, the maximum loan was being taken there. ED has been misused by BJP. Raid to disturb our national convention. But who got what here? Our leader Vinod Tiwari who lives in a rented house was raided. In his house, tiles were installed in half of the house and not in the other half. The whole country and the state is watching how the power is being misused, you should also understand this. Regarding Narayanpur, he said that BJP workers danced orgy here. Police was attacked in Kawardha. Do you give training here? What did you see in Kawardha?
BJP doing gimmick by filling form in the name of housing- CM
The CM said that now only one issue is left with the BJP, that is housing. BJP kept the people of Chhattisgarh poor. 346 crore loan was taken by the previous BJP government after counting of votes in 2018. BJP should tell that which leader’s figure regarding housing is correct? Some speak 17 lakhs, some 10 lakhs, some 12 lakhs and some 7 lakhs. Give me the correct figures. BJP is doing gimmick of filling form regarding housing. It has been 12 years since census- CM
12 years have passed since the census. BJP has committed the sin of depriving the poor of their houses. 8 lakh houses were built during BJP’s time, 11 lakh are approved, so how did 16 lakh houses survive? BJP MLA Ajay Chandrakar said – The officials have given wrong figures, if allowed, I will bring the correct figures on the table tomorrow itself. On this, CM Bhupesh Baghel said that our Panchayat Minister is ready, there is a process in the house, the chairman will give permission. We are not running away from the discussion. Ajay Chandrakar said that we have mandate to remain dissatisfied. Then the CM said that you should always be dissatisfied. Will get all the application forms for housing and missed calls verified, give it to us BJP people. In the urban areas, we have built 5 times more houses than the ones built by the BJP under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana.
Beneficiaries are unable to refill the cylinder of Ujjwala Yojana
The CM said that the condition of the Ujjwala Yojana is that till December last year, 46 percent of the population did not fill the cylinder even once, this is the condition of the scheme. The condition of toilets is also the same, payment has not been made in many places, ODF has been declared while toilets have not been built. The state government has decided to conduct a survey regarding toilets, gas connections and housing. This budget is the budget of the poor, farmers, youth and tribals. The sentiments of all the members will be respected. I will make some more announcements at the time of appropriation.
CM ended his talk with this poem-
Right now I am busy in grooming, if I get time I will also groom your hair.
