Summary

Madhya Pradesh's debt has exploded to ₹4.6-5 lakh crore, exceeding its annual budget, with the government borrowing ₹125 crore daily for the past two years to fund unsustainable welfare schemes like Ladli Behna Yojana. The state is caught in a debt trap where monthly loans are needed just to cover recurring expenses, creating a cycle of borrowing and interest payments that threatens long-term financial collapse.

    🚨 Madhya Pradesh is drowning in debt and the numbers are brutal. Total debt has crossed ₹4.6–5 lakh crore. That’s higher than state’s own annual budget. Let that sink in. An Explosive thread on MP🧵

  2. #2

    The state budget for 2025–26 stands at ~₹4.21 lakh crore. Debt? Already way beyond that. In just the last two years, the govt has been borrowing over ₹125 crore every single day. Not occasionally. Not during crisis. EVERY SINGLE DAY. 🙏

    Look at the pattern: Loans taken almost every month, sometimes multiple times in a single month. ₹2000 cr, ₹2500 cr, ₹3000 cr… repeat. March alone: ₹6300 cr → ₹5800 cr → ₹4100 cr Total: ₹16,000+ crore in just weeks.

    LOAN SHEET (Past few Months) Dec 2 - 3,000 cr (3 tranches) Nov 7 - ₹4,000 cr (3 tranches) Oct 24 - ₹2,700 cr + ₹2,500 cr Sept 26 - 1,500 cr × 2 Sept 19 - 1,500 cr x 2 Sept 3 - 1,500 cr × 2 + ₹1,000 cr Aug 22 - 2,300 cr + ₹2,500 cr Aug 1 - ₹1,600 cr + 1,400 cr + ₹1,000 Cr

    July 25 - ₹2,000 cr + 2,300 cr July 4 - ₹2,500 cr + ₹2,300 cr Apr-June Approx - ₹9,500 Cr And where is this money going? A large chunk is being burned on populist schemes and recurring payouts not sustainable assets. Short-term Politics, Long-term Disaster.

    Now the biggest drain — Ladli Behna Yojna Monthly payout: ~₹1850 crore Earlier: ~₹1540 crore And the govt wants to push it to ₹3000 per month. Do the math: Every month, thousands of crores go out in cash transfers. Every month, new loans come in to fill the gap. 🤡

    The Dangerous Cycle: Loan → Spend → Loan again → Pay interest → Borrow more This is how debt traps are created. Govt says it’s for “Development”. But if borrowing is needed every single month just to sustain spending, then the model itself is broken.

  8. #8

    Even the govt admits: “No actual assessment of assets… but we assume they exceed liabilities.” Imagine running a state on assumptions instead of audits. 😵‍💫

    Final Reality: • Debt higher than budget • Monthly loans becoming routine • Welfare expanding without revenue backing This is not sustainable. This is a slow financial collapse in motion.
