Rahul should apologise to MP farmers: Diggi's brother

September 19, 2019 16:21

Congress leader Lakshman Singh, younger brother of senior party leader Digvijaya Singh, said on Thursday that Rahul Gandhi must apologise to the farmers of the state for failing to fulfil his promise that the party government would waive farm loans in 10 days of coming to power.

Ahead of the Assembly elections last December, Rahul Gandhi had promised that if Congress was voted to power in Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and Chhattisgarh, farmers' loans would be cancelled within 10 days of the new government taking over. "The waiver has not reached the bank account of the farmers. The farmers are very angry," he added. - ANI
