farm loans

The farmer feels perhaps social media is the only way to reach out Kamal Nath government that is otherwise neglectful of their plight

Hundreds of farmers in Rajasthan have complained that their names appeared in the list of beneficiaries of farm loan waiver even though they had availed no loans

In his suicide note, Sohan Lal named Gehlot and Pilot, alleging that he was forced to take the drastic step as the Congress government in Rajasthan did not keep its promise of waiving off bank loans to farmers.

Targetting the previous BJP government in the state for his failure to provide continuous electricity in the state, Kamal Nath has now assured people here that power generation exceeds power demand.

The farmer's loan hasn't been waived off as promised and the police have also raided his house thrice over the due payment of loans

Union Minister Arun Jaitley calls the Congress manifesto an 'irresponsible document'

The 'unemployment allowance' value has been reduced by a staggering 97%

Despite the farm loan waiver scheme, the farmer suicide seems to be on a rise.

One farmer was quoted by the news agency as saying, "My paddy has been lying at the center for last 20 days. Nobody is doing anything, my wife and kids are starving. Govt isn't listening, how am I supposed to survive?"

The farmer was expecting a complete waiver of his loan amount of Rs 23,815 but the Panchayat list only suggests that only Rs.13 will be waived off.
