The failure of the Congress government in various states have led to economic crises, with states like Himachal Pradesh, Telangana, and Karnataka facing significant financial troubles.
In Himachal Pradesh, the Congress government has admitted to being unable to pay salaries due to financial difficulties. As a result, the Chief Minister and other ministers have decided to forgo their salaries, travel allowances, and daily allowances for two months, and have asked legislators to do the same until the state’s economy improves.
In Karnataka, similar issues have arisen, with the Congress government under Chief Minister Siddaramaiah struggling to fulfill poll promises. Price increases for essential items, hikes in fuel taxes, and reduction in beneficiaries for various schemes have led to public dissatisfaction.
In Telangana, the situation is dire with the state accumulating over Rs. 50,000 crores in debt within just eight months under the Congress-led government of CM Revanth Reddy. The lack of new projects and uncertainty regarding the debt’s use have exacerbated public frustration.
The Congress party, which had promised crop loan waiver during elections, is now facing backlash from farmers and all sections for failing to deliver on these promises.
