Audio Bulletin: Assam govt announces Rs 600 crore farm loan waiver
The BJP government in Assam has approved Rs 600 crore farm loan waiver which it said will benefit around eight lakh farmers of the state, a move that comes in the backdrop of debt woes of farmers becoming a major issue in the run up to the Lok Sabha elections.
The decision was taken at a cabinet meeting held on Monday night. Assam is the third state to waive farm loans in the last few days after the newly formed Congress governments in Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh announced it on Monday.
States which have earlier waived farm loans are Karnataka, Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh and Punjab.
