Cong. will waive farm loan in 10 days, if voted to power in MP: Rahul Gandhi

TIL Desk/National/MP/ Congress president Rahul Gandhi has promised farmers’ loan waiver in Madhya Pradesh within 10 days, if his party comes to power, and slammed the central and state government over the plight of the agriculturists.

“Kamal Nath (MP Congress President) and Jyotiraditya Scindia (the State poll campaign committee chairman) are sitting here. The day, the Congress comes to power in MP, count 10 days, I say with guarantee that farmers’ loan will be waived within 10 days. It won’t take even the eleventh day,” he asserted.

He was addressing a rally at Pipliya Mandi in Mandsaur district where six farmers were killed in police firing during an agitation on this day last year. Virtually kicking off his party’s campaign for the assembly elections due towards the end of the year, Gandhi said if the Congress comes to power in MP, those responsible for the death of the six farmers would face strict action within 10 days.

“In the entire county, farmers are demanding their rights, yelling and committing suicides, but the Modi government and the BJP (Bharatiya Janata Party) government in the states have little space for them,” the Congress chief said.
