For the academic year 2012-13 alone, a debt of Rs 22,000 crore was added in the budget taking the debt stock to Rs 1,20,000 crores.

Any new cases of Covid-19 cases will be blamed as Eid Jihad, request all our like minded people to protest this request.

CM Ibrahim is just trying to attract media and public atttention. he is a useless politician.
