Why did such an economic crisis come in Himachal?

The economic crisis in himachal pradesh is being discussed all over the country these days. In such a situation, everyone has this question in their mind that why has such an economic crisis arisen in the state? If we look at the reason behind this, then the state government is incurring losses due to the taper formula in the Revenue Deficit Grant. According to this formula, the grant received from the Center is reduced every month. Apart from this, the loan limit has also been cut. In the year 2024-25, there was a cut of Rs 1 thousand 800 crore in the Revenue Deficit Grant. This problem will increase even more in the coming time.
