The current status of India's debt is worrisome, as per latest reports. As of June 2019, India's public debt stood at Rs. 82.87 lakh crore, which is 66% of its GDP. The reasons for this huge debt are multifactorial- high fiscal deficit, low revenue generation, slow economic growth, etc. India's external debt is also rising, standing at $529.7bn for Q4 FY19. The Congress party has demanded that the government release a white paper on India's debt situation. The key reasons behind this demand are concerns about the rising debt burden, fiscal mismanagement, and lack of transparency in fiscal policies. The Congress alleges that the government has been hiding facts and misrepresenting data. They are also concerned about who is holding the debt, and how it will impact the economy. In summary, India's debt situation is concerning, and Congress's demand for a white paper is aimed at bringing transparency to the issue. The government needs to come clean on the details of India's debt and provide a clear roadmap for the reduction of the country's debt burden.
