Farm loans will be waived within 24 hours of assuming power: Kumaraswamy
Kolar: JD(S) State unit president and former Chief Minister H.D. Kumaraswamy said loans taken by farmers from nationalised banks in the State will be waived if his party comes to power in the Assembly elections.
“Such loans will be waived within 24 hours of JD(S) assuming power”, he said at an election rally in Srinivasapur on Tuesday. Loans taken by women self-help groups (SHGs) will also be waived, he added.
Mr. Kumaraswamy charged the Congress and BJP with indulging in mudslinging on the corruption issue. “When Prime Minister Narendra Modi says Siddaramaiah government is a 10 per cent government, the latter alleges that the Centre is a 90 per cent government”, he said.
Mr. Modi failed to provide any solution to the water problem of the State including that of parched Kolar and Chickballapur districts, he said.
He promised he will meet the farmers of every district to know their opinions on the crop pattern in their respective areas as well as to learn their problems.
JD(S) candidate G.K. Venkatashiva Reddy and MLC Chowda Reddy were present.

NDA's win in Thiruvananthapuram Corporation watershed moment in Kerala politics: PM Modi
New Delhi (PTI): Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday termed the mandate received by the BJP-led NDA in the Thiruvananthapuram Corporation a "watershed moment" in Kerala's politics and expressed gratitude to the BJP workers for the "spectacular results".
The Left parties suffered a major setback in the Thiruvananthapuram Corporation, held by them for 45 years, as the BJP-led NDA surged ahead with a huge lead.
Reacting to the civic body results, the prime minister said it is a day to recall the work and struggles of generations of karyakartas (workers) in Kerala, who worked at the grassroots, which ensured today's result became a reality.
"Thank you Thiruvananthapuram! The mandate the BJP-NDA got in the Thiruvananthapuram Corporation is a watershed moment in Kerala's politics," he wrote on 'X'.
PM Modi said the people are certain that the development aspirations of Kerala can only be addressed by the BJP. "Our Party will work towards this vibrant city's growth and boost 'Ease of Living' for the people," he said with the hashtag #VikasitaThiruvananthapuram.
The prime minister said the BJP karyakartas are the strength of the party, and everyone is proud of them.
"My gratitude to all hardworking BJP karyakartas who have worked among the people, which has ensured a spectacular result in the Thiruvananthapuram Corporation," he said.
