Delhi Chief Minister and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) convener Arvind Kejriwal on Friday announced a series of pre-poll “guarantees” for farmers, including waiver of farm loans, if his party was voted to power in Gujarat as he stepped up campaigning for the year-end Assembly election in the BJP-ruled State.
On a two-day campaign in the Saurashtra region, Mr. Kejriwal said his party, if voted to power, would also create a mechanism to buy farm produce from farmers on Minimum Support Price (MSP) which would be higher than the market price of the produce.
Addressing a rally in Dwarka, the AAP leader promised to conduct a fresh land survey as farmers complained about irregularities with the one conducted recently by the BJP government.
