It also made it clear that the loans taken from the World Bank and Asia Development Bank will not be considered debts. It further said it has decided not to take them as AP’s debts.

It comes as a smart and sweet retort to the press meet held by YSRCP leader YS Jagan who said that while the AP government took loans from World Bank, Asia Development Bank and HUDCO, they did not reflect in the state budget. Jagan also said that while Rs 6000 crore were set aside for Amaravati, the government was calling it a self-sustaining city.
This should shut all mouths raising objections with regards to state budget.
