Kolhapur, May 2 (UNI) Completely waving aside the Mahayuti assurance of loan waiver for farmers in the state, Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar said today that he did not give any promise of loan waiver for farmers.
In a press conference at Chandgad tehsil town of this district this afternoon, Ajit Pawar, who was on a brief visit to the district today, to a question on loan waiver, hit back by trying to sidestep the question, asking instead: 'Who had given loan waiver assurance? Did I give the assurance of loan waiver? I have not given it yet."
The ruling Mahayuti government had given the assurance of loan waiver for farmers in its election manifesto but could not implement the decision giving the reason of inadequate funds.
