Deccan Chronicle  

BIDAR: Ridiculing the ‘concern’ shown by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in his speeches on improving the plight of the farming community, AICC President Rahul Gandhi on Monday dared him to prove he was true to his word by bearing fifty percent of the burden of farm loan waiver in Karnataka. Addressing the ‘Jana Dhwani Yatre’ programme organised here, Mr Gandhi said Mr Modi would not waive off a single paisa of farmer loans as he had no intention of improving their condition. If my party is voted to power in the 2019 Lok Sabha poll, we will do everything that the farmers ask for including waiving their entire loans”, Mr Gandhi announced. On the contrary our government in Karnataka has announced loan waiver benefits three times this amount”, Mr Gandhi explained.
