The Congress today alleged that private companies were the biggest beneficiaries of the Centre's crop insurance scheme while the interests of farmers had been ignored. But the amount provided by these firms to farmers was just Rs 6,804.48 crore, he said. "The net profit of these insurance companies was Rs 10,376.31 crore," Surjewala claimed. Bad loans of corporate sector were written off by the Modi government but it did not waive farmers' loans," he said. Vyapam scam, PDS scam, Lalitgate scam are clear examples but no action was taken," he alleged.
