Representatives of Maharashtra farmers have sought a blanket crop loan waiver for all farmers, saying waivers must not be limited to those who have been repaying their loans

Mumbai:
Representatives of Maharashtra farmers have sought a blanket crop loan waiver for all farmers, saying waivers must not be limited to those who have been repaying their loans.

A steering committee of leaders and activists from the state said this at a meeting with a ministerial group headed by senior Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader and revenue minister Chandrakant Patil in Mumbai on Monday.

Ajit Nawle, convener of the steering committee and state secretary of Akhil Bharatiya Kisan Sabha, said the panel had insisted on a “blanket farm loan waiver as against the loan waiver with riders announced by the government”.

The steering committee also criticized the Kharif loan of Rs10,000 per farmer announced by the state government to help farmers buy seeds.

“We had never asked for this Rs10,000 loan for which the state government is determining very tough criteria. There are no clear instructions to banks and a majority of Kharif farmers will be denied this loan if the government goes ahead with the criteria it has fixed,” Nawle said.

“The farmers decided to call off their strike on June 12 when the government agreed to extend a blanket farm loan waiver. The term blanket is the operative word here. But since then the government has stated that it is defining parameters and riders to fix eligibility of farmers for loan waiver. This is not what we fought for,” Nawle said after the first round of the meeting.

Apart from Chandrakant Patil, the ministerial group comprises finance minister Sudhir Mungantiwar, co-operations and marketing minister Subhash Deshmukh and agriculture minister Pandurang Phundkar.
