New Delhi: BJP on Monday accused the Congress of “duping” farmers in states ruled by it by “not” waiving off their loans as promised and dubbed the party as “anti-farmers”.
Today, Union minister Prakash Javadekar at a press conference spoke against the false promises made by Indian National Congress regarding the free loans for the farmers.
Prakash Javadekar said the Congress had promised waiver of all farm debt in the five states of Karnataka, Punjab, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh and Rajasthan but has now turned back on its promise.
He told reporters that the Congress had promised a waiver of Rs 45,000 crore of farmers’ loan in Karnataka but had not paid even Rs 75 crore.
“And the forms that farmers are provided with consists of 52 conditions to be fulfilled which according to me is not a good thing done to the hardworking farmers in the country.” Prakash Javadekar added.
