Himachal CM raised highest debt in history, claims BJP · thehansindia.com

In the Indian state of Himachal Pradesh, the opposition party BJP is very upset with the Chief Minister, whose name is Sukhvinder Sukhu.

The BJP says he borrowed more money than any other leader in the state's history.

Borrowing too much money is like using a credit card too much — it can get a person or a state into big trouble.

The BJP also says the Chief Minister spends taxpayer money on too many helpers and advisors.

They claim roads are still in bad shape and bridges are damaged even though the central government sent money to fix them.

They say government buses are having money problems and some routes have been cancelled.

The BJP thinks the government wants to give away nice public buildings and hotels to private business people.

These are only accusations from the opposition party — the Chief Minister's side did not get to share its answer in this article.

The people of Himachal Pradesh will decide whether these complaints are fair.
