Big news right now: Addressing a public meeting in Mandsaur to mark the first anniversary of the police firing that killed six protesting farmers, Congress president Rahul Gandhi promised to waive off farm loans within 10 days if his party comes to power in Madhya Pradesh. Tweeting ahead of the Kisan Rally, Gandhi said one year had passed since the tragedy but the probe report was yet to come out. Referring to the families of the deceased farmers who are present on the dais with other Congress leaders, Gandhi tweeted, “They are still awaiting justice. I know the pain of losing someone close to me. I tried to share their pain by spending time with them today.” Madhya Pradesh is slated to go to polls later this year and the Congress is seeking to make this rally big ahead of the Assembly elections. The anniversary of the Mandsaur firing comes amid a nationwide 10-day strike by farmers for a complete loan waiver, implementation of recommendations of Swaminathan Commission and better remuneration for agriculture produce.
