The civic elections are about to come in Maharashtra and the opposition alleges that the government is buried under the debt of crores. Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar has also given a statement on this matter. He said in a press conference held in Nagpur that “Opposition has been making various comments continuously after the Mahayuti government came to power in Maharashtra. The opposition says that Maharashtra’s debt has increased.”
He informed that at present the total debt of the state is ₹ 9.32 lakh crore. The gross revenue in 2016 was ₹ 22 lakh crore and according to the rule, the loan should be up to 25% of the gross revenue. This ratio is only 18.87% in FY 2025-26. He denied the allegations of the opposition and clarified that the debt is under control and the state is financially stable.

Public patience is now breaking- Sanjay Raut
At the same time, the opposition has accused the government of drowning in debt. Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut said that “The patience of the people is now breaking. Despite having a loan of ten lakh crore rupees, it is being called a progressive state. The purpose of the schemes is only political benefits, the common people do not get any real benefit.” He also said that the financial policies of the government do not appear in the interest of the general public and dissatisfaction is increasing in the public.
Congress and Uddhav Thackeray’s comments
Former Maharashtra Congress president and MLA Nana Patole said that the government is constantly raising loans, but where this money is going, it is not clear. He raised the question that the road -making contractors are not being paid, which makes it clear that there is no control over the expenditure. With this, former Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray said that “the loan has reached nine lakh crore rupees, while the government has not started a new project. The question is where this money is going. If loans are being taken for the benefit of contractors and dams, bridges and roads are being built, then it cannot be called development.”
