Enough with ‘jumlas’, time to answer people now: Cong slams govt over farmers’ issues
PTI, Feb 29, 2024, 5:27 PM IST
The Congress on Thursday accused the BJP government of not fulfilling its promises to farmers such as doubling their income and said “enough with the jumlas”, it is time to answer the people now.
Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge said 16 years ago, the Congress-UPA government had waived Rs 72,000 crore farm loans and interest of 3.73 crore farmers.
“This was the guarantee of Congress which was fulfilled. Modi ji made two big promises to the farmers — first, cost+50 per cent of MSP and second, to double the income of farmers by 2022. Both ‘Modi’s guarantees’ turned out to be fake, and the condition of farmers became worse,” the Congress president said in a post in Hindi on X.
