meanwhile, Rahul raps PM over farm loan waiver
The Morning Standard
|November 13, 2024
KEEPING up his attack on the BJP, Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday said while Prime Minister Narendra Modi had waived loans of ₹16 lakh crore due to big industrialists, he had not rid a single farmer of loan.
"This is the real face of the BJP and Modi," said the Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha.
The Congress leader held a public meeting in Gondia in Vidarbha region of Maharashtra for opposition MVA candidates. He said even in the face of farmer protests, the PM kept claiming that the now-repealed agricultural laws were meant to benefit them.
