South West has a Loan Pandemic. They need to go and learn from the South East snd focus on Human Development which will in turn grow their GDP. That is how to develop a state and region. Where is the so-called IGR?? I cry every time i travel to South West and see everywhere is littered with old dilapidated houses and public infrastructure. |

Cool thing is that most of these states are the ones performing on IGR index..++++if you checked their DSR, they are fine. Just hope they borrowed for the right projects. Other than that they are fine. |
