TIL Desk/National/Satna(MP)/ Wooing farmers in poll-bound Madhya Pradesh, party President Rahul Gandhi on Thursday promised to waive farm loans within 10 days of coming to power. The Congress chief also said that once his party comes to power at the Centre, changes would be made to GST to reduce rates on items.
“You remember that the Congress has waived the farm loans worth Rs 70,000 crore. You saw how we waived the farm loan of farmers in the state within 10 days after coming to power in Karnataka,” Gandhi said addressing a public meeting here. “If voted to power, we shall waive the farm loans of farmers within 10 days,” he said.
Gandhi also said that he could never even think of lying and making false promises to people like depositing Rs 15 lakh in every account. He also said that the Congress after coming to power in the state would change the Gabbar Singh Tax to real GST.
“As soon as we come to power, we will change the ‘Gabbar Singh Tax’ into the real GST. We will implement one tax at lowest rates,” he said, adding that the government would use its power to generate employment in the state,” Gandhi said, who is on a two-day visit to Madhya Pradesh, where the elections are slated later this year.
