"Wasteful expenditure curtailed"

Staff Correspondent

BHOPAL: Madhya Pradesh State Finance Commission Chairman Sheetla Sahai said on Tuesday that the Bharatiya Janata Party-led Government here had curtailed wasteful and non-productive expenditure. This had helped in successfully implementing development and welfare-oriented policies for the larger good of the people.

Making this assertion at a Press meet, Mr. Sahai said the overall situation was dismal and there was nothing to write home about when the BJP came to power in Madhya Pradesh. "We inherited a State machinery that had stopped performing and this was explicit from the fact that nothing had changed in our villages and they were still as backward as they were 50 years ago." In such a scenario it was not easy to deliver results in a short time, he said, adding that the State had certainly started moving in the right direction and the results were visible.
