The BJP 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. Union minister Prakash Javadekar said the Congress has 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 said that the Congress had promised a waiver of Rs 45,000 crore of farmers' loans in Karnataka but had not paid even Rs 75 crore. Farmers in debt are feeling distressed and have been served notices by banks, Javadekar said, further alleging that 397 farmers have committed suicide in the six-month reign of the JD(S)-Congress government.
Further, he said that against the total farmers loan of RS 90,000 crore, the state's Congress government has not allocated even Rs 3 crore in the budget. The Congress is anti-farmers. It has duped ryots in the name of waiving their loans.
