Bengaluru/ New Delhi, May 28: Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy said that he has made all preparations on how to waive off the farmers loan and shortly place it before the people in Bengaluru.
After meeting Prime Minister Narendra Modi in New Delhi on Monday, Kumaraswamy told media persons at Karnataka Bhavan that there should be breathing time to waive off the loans. Four farmers have committed suicide yesterday. Who is responsible for this? Who will protect the families of those farmers? But discussions were being conducted saying that Kumaraswamy has done u-turn. He has already cleared that he has to discuss with the Congress as it is a coalition government. Why people are making hue and cry about this, he asked.
“I am not Yeddyurappa to keep silent on farmers issue. I will place what are the guidelines I have prepared to waive off the farmers loans. But the farmers should not fall prey to the conspiracy of BJP. Not only farmers loan issue, I need to find solutions to many other issues. Till I am the Chief Minister, I will be taking pro-people decisions though it is a coalition government. There is no need to be panic. I will try to ensure effective governance in the state”, he said.
“I have taken oath in the name of farmers. I will not do injustice to them. I have that commitment. I don’t need to take advice from Yeddyurappa and BJP leaders. I will not be in politics if such situation arises”, he said.
He has met Prime Minister Narendra Modi and discussed various issues. He sought his cooperation for the development of the state. The state Thermal Power Corporation has coal which will suffice only for two days for Raichur, Yeramarus and Bellary thermal power stations. So, he has asked the Prime Minister to direct the Coal Ministry to supply the coal immediately, he said.
Modi, having experience as Gujarat chief minister and Prime Minister, has given some useful suggestions on how to move in the politics, Kumaraswamy said.
JDS national general secretary Danish Ali, MLA Bandeppa Kashempur and others were present.
