Kamal Nath waives farmers' loans soon after taking over MP's rein


Bhopal, Dec 17 (IANS): Immediately after taking over as the new Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh, Kamal Nath on Monday waived loans of farmers to the tune of Rs 2 lakh each, delivering on the Congress pre-poll promise of cancelling farm loans within 10 days of coming to power.

"The Madhya Pradesh government hereby takes the decision of waiving of loans taken by farmers up to Rs 2 lakh from nationalised and cooperative banks," read the letter signed by Rajesh Rajora, Principal Secretary, Department of Agriculture, Horticulture and Food Processing.

Kamal Nath, who was instrumental in the Congress' victory in Madhya Pradesh, was on the day sworn in as its 18th Chief Minister, bringing to an end 15-year Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) rule in the central state.

Riding on its promise of farm loan waiver, the Congress won 114 seats, two seats short of majority in the 230-member House.

    Dear All,”
    Kamalnathji has not given waiver from his pocket.
    Please understand it is hard earned money of Taxpayer s of his state.
    Even it takes not even two minutes to empty out the exchequer
    And take loan from world bank and next 5 years pay for foreign bank
    All these 50 years the grand old party waivered off loan and borrowed money from Italy and other foreign nations.
    Kindly stop these elections waiver off and give to only needy

    It's not fake mouth blast like BJP it's pure hardwork of congress. Fulfilled the election promise within 24 hours in the office. BJP can not even cook Pakoda and chai within that period. Loser and coward BJP.

    The good part of congress is that it always honors the promises it makes. Even in Karnataka Siddarama fulfilled his promises.
    And the poor BJP always fakes, Joot is in their blood.
