PTI, JAIPUR: Going all out to woo farmers and youth in poll-bound Rajasthan, Congress President Rahul Gandhi Monday promised to waive farm loans in ten days if voted to power in the state and said the Congress chief minister will work for 18 hours a day to help youth get jobs.
Speaking at an election rally in Jaisalmer district’s Pokhran constituency, he described Congress workers as ‘sher’ and ‘babbar sher’ and said they have to fight on booths but with gentleness unlike RSS or BJP workers.
“You (people) are going to make Congress party’s government in the state. Within ten days of government formation, Congress will waive farmers’ loan in the state,” he said.
Gandhi said he had made the same promise in Punjab and Karnataka elections and Congress governments there have waived farmers’ loan.
“You may call and ask any farmer in Punjab and Karnataka and check whether their loans have been waived or not by the Congress party. I do not make false promises. Whatever I, Sachin Pilot or Ashok Gehlot are saying from this stage, we will do that,” he said.
He said the chief minister of Congress will work for 18 hours in a day and will be engaged in getting youth jobs.
