TDP leader dares Andhra Pradesh CM for open debate on state’s debts

Amaravati : A day after Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy stated that the debt growth of the state is less compared to the previous Telugu Desam Party (TDP) regime, TDP leader and former Finance Minister Y. Ramakrishnudu on Sunday dared him for a debate.
Ramakrishnudu said the Chief Minister should come forward for an open debate on the heavy debt burden on the State.
He said the Chief Minister and his cabinet colleagues have been changing tack quite frequently on the future of Andhra Pradesh with regard to the liabilities of the state. “I am ready for an open debate with the Chief Minister in the presence of the Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) officials on the borrowing of the state,” Ramakrishnudu said.
Expressing anguish at the “distortion of the facts”, though as an experienced economist, he has been narrating certain facts on the state’s economic condition, the TDP leader said that even constitutional authorities like the CAG are being misled by the state government.
“Is it not a fact that the CAG has openly stated that the details are not being submitted to it,” he asked.

He is more focussing on raising debts and misusing these funds than welfare of the state, Ramakrishnudu alleged.
