Nagpur, December 07: Maharashtra Chief Minister Prithviraj Chvan today said the state government has decided to control budget estimates and overcome the deficit by increasing revenues through various sources.
“The government has decided in principle to control the budget estimates and overcome the deficit by increasing the revenue through various sources be it sales tax or excise and other revenue sources,” Chavan told journalists at a breakfast meeting at his official residence ‘Ramgiri’ here.
“The neighbouring states like Andhra Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh and Gujarat are going ahead of Maharashtra, which has suffered to some extent due to political changes recently,” he said.
Touching most of the important issues of Maharashtra and particularly backward region of Vidarbha, Chavan said he would try to get familiar with the problems and would be covering entire Vidarbha region within one month.
