Congress fooling farmers with loan waiver promise: Narendra Modi

“Those who have a history of playing with national security and who have till date been spreading lies to weaken the soldiers… those who have a history of mercilessly killing thousands of Sikhs and those who give the post of CM as a prize to those accused…” he said.

Hitting out at Congress for indulging in “politics of lies and deceit”, Modi said that Congress did not implement Swaminathan report despite a long standing demand of the farmers. “Till the time Congress was in power at the Centre, it kept putting off a decision on this,” he said.

He said that the Congress made a similar announcement in 2018 in Karnataka too. “Media reports say only a few farmers have been given waiver… In Punjab too, Congress fooled farmers on loan waiver promise…” he said.

On the 1984 riot victims and conviction of Sajjan Kumar, Modi said, “The guilty should be punished, Congress leaders should be punished, this was a demand of the entire country. People of one family suppressed files… Our government set up an SIT and the result is before you,” he said.
