Rahul Gandhi: Farm loans waiver soon in MP, Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh

With the Congress coming to power in Chhattisgarh, Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh, party President Rahul Gandhi on Friday, December 14, affirmed his party's commitment to waive off farm loans in all the three states.

"We are going to waive farm loans," Gandhi told the media in New Delhi asserting that his party would fulfil the promise of waving loans of farmers in all the three states within 10 days of coming to power.
