"The much-touted loan waiver scheme for farmers has ended up in a scam again. The CAG report talks about the non-waiver of debts to farmers and it has been given to different people," BJP spokesperson Rajiv Pratap Rudy told reporters.

He alleged that as per the CAG report, the most of the money claimed by banks for the loan waiver given by the government has been lost.

"This is a mega scam and that too related to farmers which will rock this government again," Rudy said.
