Bhagwant Mann On Fiscal Crisis: 'Punjab Borrowing For Development, Not Waste'
Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann rejected concerns over the state's rising fiscal deficit, countering the Centre's criticism and pointing to higher debt levels in other states and the Union government. Defending his welfare spending, Mann said loans are being used for infrastructure and public services, while blaming previous governments for Punjab's financial stress and asserting the state will recover.
