If voted to power, will waive Rs 51K-cr crop loans: Kumaraswamy

Bengaluru, Jan 11: JD(S) state president H D Kumaraswamy on Wednesday said that if his party is voted to power in the upcoming elections, his government would waive

Rs 51,000 crore crop loans obtained by farmers of the state.

Addressing a youth rally in Devanahalli in Bengaluru Rural district, he said both the BJP and the Congress lacked concern for farmers. Though more than 3,000 farmers had committed suicide in the last four-and-a-half years, the government was busy splurging on promoting its achievements through Chief Minister Siddaramaiah's 'Navakarnataka Nirmana' programme.

He said if the JD(S) comes to power, his government would provide a monthly financial benefit of Rs 6,000 to pregnant women for six months and a pension of Rs 5,000 for the elderly and widows.

JD(S) youth wing president and Sorab MLA Madhu Bangarappa said if Kumaraswamy is voted to power, more than one crore youth would get jobs.

He said the BJP had betrayed north Karnataka farmers over Mahadayi issue, and that the party would be given a fitting reply in the elections.

Stating that several disgruntled Congress and BJP leaders would join the JD(S) in the coming days, Bangarappa expressed confidence that the party would win 113 seats.

Chikkamagaluru, Jan 28: Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister and Minister for Public Works Govind Karjol on Tuesday said that he is ready to quit if the post asks him to do so to pave way for smooth expansion of the Cabinet.

Responding to a question from media persons on the issue here, he said he was ready to quit his post any time.

“If the party asks me to resign now, I will send back my official car and return by bus”, he added.

Further, he opined that there should not be efforts to seek a berth in the Cabinet based on caste.

“Putting pressure on the party based on caste is not right. The party will consider those who worked for the party and also take district-wise representation into account while filling up the vacancies”, he added.
