The Congress on Wednesday promised free power for farmers and waiver of their agri loans and pending electricity dues if the party forms the government after the year-end assembly elections.
Addressing a press conference, which saw a brief power cut, MP Congress chief Kamal Nath alleged that the loan burden on farmers in the state has been increasing under the BJP rule. He said their ‘Krishak Nyay Yojana’ will bring down the input cost of farmers in agriculture.
“We have waived the agricultural loans of 27 lakh farmers in the first phase (when Congress was in power after 2018 polls). This scheme will continue.
