Farm loan waiver demand from centre |
The announcement of waiving farm loans by the Congress led states of Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh has taken a political route, with the President of Indian National Congress Rahul Gandhi declaring that he would not let Prime Minister Narendra Modi "sleep or rest" till he gave a reprieve to farmers. Citing the example of his party`s new governments in Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh, which have announced farm loan waivers within six hours. The third state, Rajasthan, is also going to follow the example. He said that victory of Congress in these elections is the victory of farmers, and claimed that PM Modi didn`t waive even a single rupee of the poor farmers. Rahul Gandhi promised that farmers in all Congress-ruled states will get farm loan waivers and the BJP will be forced to do the same in the country. Commenting on Rahul`s statement senior BJP leader and Law Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad, said that this is a new low in public discourse in the country and nothing better is expected from Rahul Gandhi, whose party ensured that people of the country did not sleep for 60 years due to corruption, mal governance and patronage of selected people.
