‘Will waive farmers’ loans if Cong wins in ’19: Rahul

-

NANDED(CHANDRAPUR):INTERACTIN­G with farmers, youngsters and women in Nanded village of Chandrapur district on Wednesday, Congress president Rahul Gandhi said if his party comes to power in 2019, it would waive farmers’ loans and protect their interests.

“I am not making any false and vague promises, like Prime Minister Narendra Modiji, but we have given loan waivers in the past and will do so, if required, on the lines of Karnataka and Punjab. The Congress always stands with farmers and will remain with farmers to protect their interests,” he said.

“The Modi government is dishonest. It only cares for the country’s 15 rich and top industrial­ists and has provided them a ₹2.5 lakh crore corporate loan waiver. It will do nothing for poor farmers,” he said.
