“Capita income was ₹11,718 in 2002 that has increased to ₹1,40,500 in 2022-23. The opposition is accusing the government constantly of taking loans, but according to the data, earlier 39.5% loan was taken. In 2021 – 2022, the debt percentage has come down to 22.6%. If per capita income is seen in 2001-02, it was ₹11,718, which has increased to ₹38,497 in 2011-12, in 2022-23 it has become ₹1.40 lakh. Increasing per capita income means people are continuously increasing their means of income,” he added.
The CM said, “Industrial growth rate which was -0.61% in 2001-02. It increased to 24% in 2022-23. If you see the increasing pace of revenue collection, we have also increased the collection of state taxes continuously and it is 7.94% in three years. Means we are continuously increasing the tax of our revenue state.”
However, the leader of opposition in the state assembly Govind Singh called it a number game.
“The new employment regration rose to 8 lakh and only 21 got the job. This economic survey is nothing but a number game.”
The opposition couldn’t bring the reduction in expenditure proposal on Tuesday as the proceedings of the house adjourned after having discussion on governor Mangu Bhai Patel’s address.
