The Modi-led NDA government should waive all agricultural loans of farmers just as the Congress government did during its previous rule, TNCC President EVKS Elangovan said here today.

Elangovan, here to attend a private function, told media persons that the previous Congress government had waived all farming loans, hence the Modi government should follow suit.

On the coming assembly polls, he said the party was making preparations to contest in all assembly seats on its own, if required. However, the Congress is also open to alliance with any party to defeat AIADMK.

He hit out at the AIADMK government on its handling of the flood situation last month.
 

On Supreme Court allowing Gas Authority of India Limited to lay natural gas pipelines criss-crossing seven districts of the state, he urged both the Centre and State governments to take steps to save the lands of farmers in Tamil Nadu.
