Loan waiver not permanent solution to farmers' problems: BJP Kisan Morcha chief

The BJP's farmers wing on Thursday said loan waiver is not a "permanent solution" to farmers' problems, and asserted that they need to be made capable to pay back their loan.

Inviting representatives of various farmer organisations for dialogue on problems faced by the farming community, BJP's Kisan Morcha chief Virendra Singh Mast said that he would take up their genuine demands with the government.

At a press conference here, Mast said, "I had invited the leaders of various farmers' organisations when they took out a march last week and I am again saying that I am open for discussion on all issues faced by farmers and will take up their genuine demands with the government."
"Farmers and agriculture have always been priority for the Modi government. The government dedicated 52 per cent of its total allocations in the budget to them."
