Let Rahul prove charge that Modi govt waived industries' loans: Amit Shah in Bidar


Humnabad (Bidar), Feb 25 (PTI): BJP chief Amit Shah today demanded that Congress president Rahul Gandhi prove his charge that the Narendra Modi government waived loans taken by industrialists.

What Rahul Gandhi is saying is incorrect, Shah said and demanded that the Congress president make public any document which mentions that loans to industries were written off.

"I want to clarify one thing... one statement that the Congress president repeatedly makes is that the BJP waived thousands of crores, lakhs of crores of loans taken by industries. I can tell you with guarantee that after the Narendra Modi government came to power, not even a single paisa of loan taken by any single industrialist has been waived," he said during an interaction with sugarcane farmers.

"If he (Rahul Gandhi) has any records anywhere that industries' loans have been waived, let him make it public... I am ready to answer and seek an apology from farmers of Karnataka. What he is saying is wrong," the BJP national president said.

He said that tax had not been waived for industries, but it has "only been reduced a bit."

Shah is on a three-day visit to north Karnataka region, during which he will interact with party workers in Bidar, Kalaburagi and Yadgiri districts. State Assembly polls are expected to be held in a few months.

"There is already no income tax on anything related to farmers and there is no question of taxing them. Let anyone spread misinformation how much ever they want, government is not imposing any income tax on farmers," he said.

The BJP chief said the Centre's "full focus" was on farmers' welfare and after coming to power in Karnataka, his party would follow a pro-farmer strategy.

Listing out various initiatives taken by the Modi government for sugarcane farmers, Shah said the BJP's poll manifesto would include ensuring on-time payment to sugarcane growers.

"If the BJP comes to power in Karnataka... within 90 days sugar mills would have to make payment to the farmers, as done in Uttar Pradesh. We will include this in our manifesto," he said, adding after forming government in the state, sugar mills in the region would be re-opened.

Mentioning various 'pro-farmer' initiatives of the Union government, such as procurement of pulses, neem-coated urea and the Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchayee Yojana, he accused the Congress government in Karnataka of not allowing benefits of some of the schemes reach the farmers.

The Congress government in the state fears that it may lead to further rise in Modi's popularity, Shah claimed.

He said Narendra Modi would attend a farmers' conclave at Davangere on February 27, after which BJP workers would visit their homes, collect a fistful of rice from each household, cook and eat it while pledging that once the party forms government in the state, it would be dedicated to work for farmers' welfare.

"We have come before you with an intention to form a pro-farmer government under the leadership of Yeddyurappa in Karnataka also," Shah said, adding the BJP won the 2014 Lok Sabha polls and several state elections after that only because of support from farmers.

The BJP national president visited the historic Gurdwara Nanak Jhira Sahib in Bidar.

He also visited the home of Shivaraj Basalingappa Alreddy, a farmer who committed suicide, at Mangalgi village in Bidar.

"During Siddaramaiah's tenure, about 3,781 farmers across Karnataka committed suicide, but he is busy in the politics of appeasement. I have not seen a government as irresponsible and insensitive as this," Shah tweeted.

    Let Amit Shah answer the following questions:

    1. How did the turnover of a company owned by AMit Shah’s son increase 16,000 times over in the year following the election of PM Narendra Modi?
    2. How did the revenue from company owned by Amit Shah’s son jump from just Rs 50,000 to over Rs 80,00,00,000 in a single year?
    3. How did a firm of Amit Shah’s son, whose business is chiefly stock trading, turns to windmill generation with PSU loan?

    Shah is wrong in asking for proof. CBI, ED, IT and all such agencies are under his control. He has to order them to get the proof.
    Shah has to give ample time to Raga, to settle in his career and understand the seriousness of any accusations.

    Rumour Spreading Society tactics don't work here. Nagpur might be a better place to try them. Some from Nagpur group cannot digest that the whole country knows that Nathuram Godse killed the Father of the Nation Mahatma Gandhi hence they are creating such obfuscations. Meanwhile find out who killed Haren Pandya, minister in the Gujarat government under CM Modi just before he was to go to give testimony in connection with 2002 riots.

    Also note that you are making some serious allegations and need to be careful with choice of words lest one may get into trouble. The deaths of the persons mentioned in your comments are not recorded anywhere in government records as 'killings'. Also nowhere in my comments have I stated Justice Loya was murdered, so read carefully again. Sohrabuddin's death and Haren Pandya's death were officially recorded as murders.
    Also spellings need improvement if it is not a typo - it is Declan not Deccan.

    T for Tomatoes now available for Rs.10 for 0ne and half Kilo...
    O for Onion now available for Rs.20 for One Kilo..
    P for Potato is now available for Rs.12 for One Kilo..
    All seasoned vegetables are now available in ample quantity in between Rs 30 and Rs.40 per kilo..
    All people are happy..when day to day commodities.are become cheap.
    Moreover all small denomination notes are on circulation in plenty and no room for scarcity.
    As soon as bjp resumed office...all wholesalers in favour of congress hidden all commodities as per instruction..and made market shortage and price rise.
    Where are they now. How long they hide perishable goods..??
    When power transferred to bjp there is a BIG HOLE in the system as found in OZONE layer up above in Antratica. Now things slowly all back to the tracks and running smoothly.
    Terrorists fear to handle bombs in there hands..as chances are more going underground forever. Even having propper documents people hesitate to transport cattles from one place to another even it meant for milk.
    When bjp comes in power all farmers will be happy as they will fetch more money for there commodities.
    Looks like North Karnataka will fall into the lap of bjp..and JD..Congress not on scene.

    Dear Mr Devkumar,

    Your comment: T for Tomatoes ...O for Onion ....P for Potato ....
    My reply: Atleast indirectly Modiji admits that Congress is TOP in Karnataka. Which means BJP is (BOTTOM Janata Party)??

    Your comment: Terrorists fear to handle bombs in there hands..as chances are more going underground forever...
    My reply: ... But scamsters looters and fraudsters are surfacing for selfie with PM and thereafter slipping from right under his nose into a foreign country.

    Your comment: When bjp comes in power all farmers will be happy..
    My reply: Except farmers at Haveri!!

    Last but not least - under Sidamaraiah's rule I am confident people enjoy at home T for Tomato salad, O for Onion Bajjyas and P for Potato Fench Fries.

    Jai Karnataka!! Jai Hind!!

    We do not know why Amit Shah asking proof.He should study the case and then speak. Just throwing mud makes no way to him as we as people of India will see as stranger and not as politicians.

    MMS never contested any election whereas Jaitlie and Irani had contested and had lost miserably meaning people had REJECTED them. But then, those rejected in the democratic process, crony capitalists, mega fraudsters are in very good books of higher-ups in this ruling party and nothing stopping them

    1. BJP is biggest fake party and they lie 24x7 !
    2. You say something & then change your statement saying "Woh bas jumlaa tha.. yeh sab chalta hai"!
    3. Your own party leader Eshwarappa openly told partymen - "To fool voters, you have to lie & should pretend that, you know everything"!
