Farm loan waiver in Telangana 'false': Kishan Reddy

Union Minister G Kishan Reddy, on Monday, accused Congress and its leader Rahul Gandhi of "misleading" voters in poll-bound Maharashtra and Jharkhand by claiming that Telangana, under its rule, implemented a farm loan waiver of Rs 31,000 crore. In reality, only Rs 17,869 crore has been waived so far, he said.

Speaking to reporters here, Reddy, who is also Telangana BJP president, explained that the planned loan waiver was supposed to cover 38.63 lakh farmers with an outlay of Rs 33,245 crore. However, only 22 lakh farmers have benefited, leaving more than 16 lakh farmers still awaiting relief of Rs 15,376 crore under the government's own conditions.
