Rahul Gandhi: Modi guaranteed loan waiver to farmers, but wrote off bank dues of industrialist-friends

Ajmer (Rajasthan), Feb 14 In a scathing attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Congress president Rahul Gandhi affirmed on Thursday that he made an empty promise of loan waiver to farmers, but wrote off bank dues of his industrialist-friends.

Addressing a two-day meet of the All India Congress Seva Dal, Gandhi said each segment of society, be it farmers, young people or little scale traders, endured under the Modi government and they ought to get justice.

At the point when the Congress came back to control in Rajasthan, the state government waived farm loans, Gandhi said.

The prime minister made an empty promise of loan waiver to farmers, but wrote off bank dues of his industrialist-friends, he charged.

Gandhi said while the prime minister "insults" him, his family and the Congress party, he had hugged Modi in Parliament. "Hatred can be defeated only by love. He has hatred and the love in me countered that hatred," the Congress president said.
