Reiterating Congress’ commitment towards the cause of farmers’ Rahul Gandhi said, “UPA is committed towards the welfare of the farmers. The intention behind the Central government to waive off loan worth Rs 60,000 crore was to serve the common man. We opened the doors of the banks for the farmers. When we decided to waive-off farmers’ loan and brought in MGNREGA and other welfare schemes, the opposition parties asked us from where will the Government arrange money for this? If we do anything for the rich and elite they keep silent but if we draft policies for the aam aadmi they raise a number of questions.”
