In letter to farmers, Madhya Pradesh CM assures their loans would be waived
Bhopal, Mar 12 (UNI): Madhya Pradesh chief minister Kamal Nath has assured cultivators that each and every one of them who had submitted applications would have their loans waived .
Congress sources have said the procedures would restart once the Model Code of Conduct for the Lok Sabha elections ceases to be in force.
In an open communication to farmers, the chief minister said: “I vowed to break the vicious circle of loan burden therefore - as soon as my dispensation assumed the reins - a decision was taken vis-a-vis credit waiver up to a ceiling of Rs 2 lakh each for approximately 50 lakh agriculturists. The state’s predecessor Bharatiya Janata Party regime depleted the exchequer by expending taxpayers’ money on propaganda. Accepting that challenge, the Congress government set aside outstanding payments of 24.84 lakh reapers.”
The saffron camp is damaging growers’ interests by spreading confusion in media with regard to the decision in favour of peasants, he alleged, adding that a chief minister or a minister was not a party’s property but one who worked in an overall manner.
Subsequent to the general election, Nath intends to initiate measures for a lasting solution to the issue of crop prices, he added in the letter.
