Rahul Gandhi turned up the heat on Narendra Modi, adding that “for the last four years he has not waived even a rupee of farm debt”. Photo: APNew Delhi: A day after two Congress-ruled states, Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh, announced farm loan waivers within hours of new chief ministers taking charge, Congress president Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday upped the ante over farm distress and said if voted to power, his party would ensure a farm loan waiver in 2019 as well. This victory is the victory of the marginalised people,” Gandhi said while speaking outside the House in Parliament. Gandhi turned up the heat on Modi, adding that “for the last four years he has not waived even a rupee of farm debt”. I promise the farmers of India that we will provide complete farm loan waiver if we are voted to power in 2019.
