Farmers will seek reply from Modi on loan waiver, says Maha MP

Farmers will seek a reply from Prime Minister Narendra Modi for "ignoring" their plight when he approaches them next to seek votes, Swabhiman Paksh MP Raju Shetti said today.
"Names of industrialists who defaulted on loans of thousands of crores of rupees are not declared because it will defame the country. Increased wages of Rs 1.15 lakh crore are given to (government) staff towards seventh pay commission.
Swabhimani Paksha has a minister in the BJP-led Maharashtra government.
"However, when Modi, who avoids making farmers debt-free, comes to seek votes the next time around, farmers, who constitute 62 per cent population in India, will seek answers (from him)," said Shetti, an MP from Hatkanangle in western Maharashtra.

"If Modi has to come (to farmers) to seek votes, then he should make farmers debt-free," he said, addressing a farmers rally in Solapur district.
"Modi has ignored farmers' plight. We are ready to fight against anyone to make farmers debt-free," Shetti said.
