Govt must waive farm loans: BJP

Description

Jaipur: State BJP president Satish Poonia on Saturday asked the ruling government to waive of Rs 99,000 crore loan of 59 lakh farmers in Rajasthan.“Gandhi has no moral right to raise the issue of farmers until they fulfil the promise of farmers’ loan waiver which was made by him only,” said Poonia.“Prime Minister Narendra Modi has assured the farmers time and again that farm laws are optional and they can sell their produce wherever they feel like. The land rights to remain with the farmers under contract farming. Congress can’t deny the facts of the farm laws for long,” said Poonia.He charged Gandhi of using foul language for Modi over Indo-China issue. He said, “Gandhi is unaware that Jawaharlal Nehru gave the slogan ‘Hindi-Chini Bhai Bhai (India-China brothers) and ended up losing our land. Modi has made the country stronger than ever before.”
