CHANDIGARH: The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-Punjab Lok Congress (PLC)-SAD (Sanyukt) alliance on Tuesday promised waiver of the entire agriculture debt of farmers with less than five acres of landholdings in Punjab.
In the past, Punjab chief ministers – Amarinder Singh and Charanjit Singh Channi – had repeatedly taken up the issue of complete farm debt waiver with the NDA government at the Centre but BJP had responded that it was a bad call for the economy, pointing to UPA’s decision and outcomes thereof.
