TRS Not Serious On Farm Loan Waiver: Shabbir Ali
The Deputy CLP leader in the Telangana Council said the govt could waive off the loans by just crediting the amount to the banks, but had deliberately taken a long route.
Deputy CLP leader in the Telangana Legislative Council Mohammed Ali Shabbir on Thursday alleged that Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao was not serious in implementing his agricultural loan waiver promise.
Speaking to media persons at Gandhi Bhavan, Shabbir Ali said that instead of waiving off the loans directly, the State government had issued guidelines for the scheme.
He alleged that the government was thus delaying the loan waiver using bureaucratic tactics.
He said that the government was empowered to waive off the loans by directly crediting the amount to the banks. However, KCR had deliberately adopted a long route.
Shabbir Ali alleged that several farmers had committed suicide due to the delay in waiving off their loans. However, the government had remained inert to the ongoing suicide spree by the farmers.
He said that the Congress party had decided to give 100 days to the government to start fulfilling its promises. After that, it would launch massive agitations across the State.
The Congress leader also slammed KCR for his adamant attitude on the issue of EAMCET counselling, which got delayed by almost one month. He said that KCR should have resolved the issue by convening an all-party meeting. (INN)
