As loan waiver amount credited in farmers accounts get deducted, CM Kumaraswamy issues clarification
Bengaluru: As farmers in Karnataka reported that the amount credited in their bank accounts by the state government has been taken back, Karnataka CM H D Kumaraswamy on Monday clarified that it happened due to an error by the bank officials and that the money has not been deducted from every farmers’ account but that of only a few.
Speaking to mediapersons in the city on Tuesday, Kumarswamy blamed the media for misleading its viewers by showing fake reports. “The error was on part of the bank and the bank has clarified. The media highlighted the whole episode in a misleading manner” Kumaraswamy said.
“The media should stop misleading people on loan waiver issue. It should stop broadcasting and printing fake news. In Yadgiri District’s national bank, it was a technical error that led to the deduction of loan waiver amount credited in farmer’s accounts. It is very clear” he said.
He further added that “After every loan waiver, such issues are brought to the notice of state government during auditing. Such errors have been reported in about 13,988 accounts. Local banks have been asked to clarify on the issue, we have also called a meeting in this regard on Friday afternoon”.
He also rubbished the reports claiming that the state government credited the amounts in the accounts of the farmers to gain political mileage in the Lok Sabha Election which was withdrawn after the election. “There is no connection of loan waiver with the Lok Sabha Election. Loan waiver is an upright priority for the state government and we will implement it” The CM added.
