State BJP pulls up state govt
Mumbai, Apr 26: Mumbai state BJP President Nitin Gadkari today dubbed the Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) report pulling up the state government on farmers issue as a slap on the Democratic Front (DF) government and demanded white paper on farm loans.
"The
CAG
report
is
a
slap
on
the
Congress-NCP
Democratic
Front
gvernment.
When
the
prime
minister's
package
was
declared
at
that
time,
it
was
not
the
farmers
who
benefitted
by
the
package
but
the
banks
owned
by
the
NCP
members," he
said.
The
money
was
mainly
meant
to
revive
the
banks
which
were
on
the
verge
of
collapse.
Now
the
CAG
has
also
in
its
report
flayed
the
government
for
it,
he
added
