Demanding a white paper on the state’s finances, Pargat claimed that the state government’s continuous borrowing is adding to Punjab’s already massive debt. “Instead of undertaking a course correction, the Punjab government continues reckless borrowing with no roadmap for recovery. Transparency is the need of the hour. I, along with the state Congress, demand the immediate release of a white paper on Punjab’s financial situation,” he posted on X.
