New Delhi, December 18: Congress president Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday intensified his attacks on Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led government over farm loan waiver. A day after Congress governments in Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh announced waiver of loans borrowed by farmers, Rahul Gandhi alleged the Modi government did not give any relief to farmers in the last four years.

"We promised to waive loans of farmers and within six hours did it in Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh after taking over the reins. But PM has not waived off a single rupee of farmers. He only waives loans of few industrialists," Gandhi said at a press conference. "We will not let PM Modi sleep till he waives of loans of farmers, all opposition parties will unitedly demand this," he added. Rafale Row: Congress, Rahul Gandhi Spreading Lies About Purchase of 36 Fighter Jets, Says Devendra Fadnavis.

Gandhi accused the Modi government of shying away from the debate over Rafale deal in Parliament. When asked for his comment on 'typo error' in the Supreme Court ruling about JPC, the Congress leader said such typo errors will now emerge in everything. "JPC, Rafale, farm loan waivers, demonetization, typo errors will soon emerge in everything," he said.

The government claimed in its affidavit that the Rafale pricing issue has been looked into by the CAG whose report has been discussed in the Public Accounts Committee of Parliament. Rafale Deal: CAG Report on Pricing Not Examined by PAC, Modi Govt Tells Supreme Court; Requests to Correct Verdict.

Rahul Gandhi evades question on Sajjan Kumar's conviction in the 1984 anti-Sikh riots case. "I have made my position on the riots very clear, and I have said this before. This press conference is about the farmers of the country," he said. Kumar resigned from the primary membership of the Congress earlier today.
