Indias most debt ridden States.

Here are a few startling facts:
  • The Indian state that has the highest per capita income has the second-highest debt burden.
  • The state that has the highest percentage of population under the poverty line has the lowest debt burden.
  • The difference in the infant mortality rate between the two states that hug the bottom of the debt list is one life. These two states also see one of the highest infant mortality rates in the country.
  • Two of the states in this list are ruled by the CPI (M) and three each by the Congress and the Bharatiya Janata Party.

    While UP is the most debt ridden state with low per capita income along with Bihar due to high population.
