Modi who gives Rs. 3.5 to farmers, waives off Rs. 3.5 lakh crore loans of industrialists: Rahul
Congress' public programme in Haveri
Haveri: Congress president Rahul Gandhi Saturday accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of making fun of poor farmers by doling out only Rs 3.50 a day while waving loans worth Rs 3.5 lakh crore of industrialists.
Coming down heavily on the prime minister at an election rally in Haveri, the Congress chief said the PM-KISAN scheme launched by the Centre is nothing but an attempt to make mockery of poor farmers by doling out a paltry sum of Rs 6,000 annually.
Ahead of Lok Sabha polls, Rahul Gandhi launched the election campaign by participating in a public function in the BJP bastion- Haveri, which witnesses many incidents like Mahatma Gandhi's visit in 1934, freedom movement and Ahinda Movement.
Congress leaders Mallikarjun Kharge, Congress in-charge Venugopal, former CM Siddaramaiah, Veerappa Moily, KPCC president Dinesh Gundurao, campaigning committee chairman HK Patil, Deputy Chief Minister Dr. G. Parameshwar, Minister DK Shivakumar, KPCC President Ishwar Khandre, MP KH Muniyappa, in-charge Minister BZ. Zameer Ahmed Khan and others were present.
