In other words 199 billion Rupees loan taken at 10%. Is that any rate for a government to borrow? But this government has gone into a syndrome where it feels that any money it is able to borrow is a great achievement and the government seems to be proud of it. Maybe, I am not sure, the government really has no intention of paying it back?
