Divulging the crop loan waiver scheme details implemented by his government, he said that the Congress government had spent ₹20,616 crore benefiting 25,35,963 farmers. "If I had waived the loans after five years, the total crop loan dues would have mounted to over ₹50,000 crore, and I don't want it to happen, which is why I cleared the crop loans as a top priority," he said. Clarifying the Opposition questions, he said that there were gaps in the initial estimates as the SLBC gave details of loans other than crop loans. He said that the Congress government didn't consider the loans which were not waived by the then BRS government. Waiving farmers' loans is a responsibility and there is nothing to boast about, he asserted. The BRS government while claiming that it didn't have even ₹8,000 crore for loan waiver, it made a huge show of its concern for the farm community, he said and added that the Congress was the only party which honoured its promises. "They (BRS) are thankless people," he remarked.
