MLA disputes CM’s claim on farm loan interest

Disputing Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao’s statement that his government has completed loan waiver scheme successfully, Congress MLA T Rammohan Reddy clarified that the interest on loans of farmers was still in the records of the banks. He demanded that the Chief Minister stick to his word on bearing interest on farm loans.

Speaking at the Assembly Media Point here on Thursday after the adjournment of the House to Friday, Rammohan Reddy alleged that the Chief Minister was adopting “dual standards” saying that the farmers didn’t give applications to the Ministers, MLAs, MLCs and MPs in this regard. He said movement started among the farmers on ‘interest’ issue after listening to the statement of the Chief Minister on Wednesday. He asked the farmers to hand over the bank statements to the local Congress leaders. (NSS)
