Congress' Kamal Nath said that the farm loan of every farmer in Madhya Pradesh would have been cleared by now if his government was at the helm.
The Congress in Madhya Pradesh has promised that if it is voted to power in the state assembly polls next year, it would reintroduce the farm loan waiver scheme that it had brought after forming a government in 2018.
The party's state unit president and former chief minister Kamal Nath made this announcement last evening when he also said that the farm loan of every farmer in the state would have been cleared by now if his government was at the helm.
Ahead of the last assembly polls, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi had promised to implement a farm loan waiver scheme in the state if the party came to power.
The party delivered on its promise as Kamal Nath signed the file for waiving loans of up to Rs 2 lakh soon after taking oath as the chief minister in December 2018. It is widely believed that the grand old party's promise of farm loan waiver was one of the major factors behind its victory.
