Telangana chief minster Revanth Reddy on Sunday, December 1, said that the current state government is paying Rs 6500 crore as interest on the Rs 7 lakh crore debt that the state is in every month. He said that ex-chief minister and Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) supremo K Chandrashekar Rao (KCR), never told people about the debt of Rs 7 lakh crores.
“The total debt burden on Telangana was Rs 7 lakh crores when Congress assumed power by defeating KCR. Despite the debt burden of Rs 7 lakh crores, the Congress government has been implementing the guarantees without getting discouraged,” Revanth Reddy claimed.
