Loan waiver issue sees more chaos in House

The STATE Legislative Assembly on Tuesday witnessed uproarious scenes on the issue of farm loan with the opposition members shouting slogans against the government and demanding more loan waiver for the farmers. The issue of total loan waiver was raised by the Leader of Opposition Ramdas Kadam through an adjournment motion who said that Union Agriculture Minister Sharad Pawar had given a statement saying that more waiver for farmers is not possible. Kadam said in that case the state government should take initiative and come out with a scheme to help the debt-ridden farmers.
