Accusing the Congress government in the State of failing to maintain law and order and addressing farmers’ problems, Prakash Javadekar, Union Minister for Human Resource Development, has said that the countdown to the end of Congress rule in Karnataka has commenced. He said that, as many as 22 activists had been killed in Karnataka after the Congress came to power but the State government failed to conduct a proper probe into the incidents. He expressed displeasure against the delay in arresting the culprits responsible for the killing of writer M.M. “The government should have waived the crop loan borrowed by the farmers from nationalised banks also. It is unfortunate that Chief Minister Siddaramaiah is demanding that the Union government waive the loan from nationalised banks.
