Reiterating his announcement of loan waiver,Baghel said that like last time, this time also loans of farmers will be waived off if Congress government was formed again. Elaborating on the announcement of loan waiver, he said that the loans taken by farmers from co-operative banks and commercial banks will be waived off after formation of the Congress government.
Baghel said that the Congress government worked to bring changes in the lives of the common people. He said that his government directly transferred Rs 1.75 lakh crore to the accounts of various beneficiaries in the last 5 years.
