Re: Road to the 2024 Elections in India-1
The Punjab state govt should be asked to pay MSP, pension and whatever their farmers are protesting. The burden should be moved to state govt rather than central govt to help their state's farmers. Atleast that should be brought into talk and pushed. If these radicals get violent, the police should ...

Congress blames Modi govt of taking on debt from 55 lakh crore in 2014 to 155 lakh crore. That is almost 3 times in 9 yrs which seems unusually high and sounds bad. What constitutes that debt? How can that be accounted for? The Covid crisis obviously caused some of the pain. But how to quantify?
