The Aam Aadmi Party has made welfare guarantees, subsidies, and government schemes the hallmark of its governance model, with almost every announcement presented as a major achievement. But Punjab is already one of India's most debt-stressed states, facing rising borrowings and mounting fiscal pressure.
