Raipur, Dec 18 (IANS): Within hours of being sworn-in as Chhattisgarh Chief Minister, Bhupesh Baghel on Monday announced to waive off farm loans amounting to Rs 6,100 crore. The new government has also decided to raise minimum support price of paddy to Rs 2,500 per quintal.

The Chief Minister presided over a cabinet meeting and decided to waive off farm loans which would benefit 16.65 lakh farmers reeling under debt.

The farm loan waiver was a major promise of the Congress during the Assembly election campaign that helped the party bag 68 seats in a 90-member House.

The farm loan waiver announcement has been widely hailed by farmers' representative bodies.

Addressing the maiden press conference as Chief Minister, Baghel briefed media persons about the cabinet decisions and said he decided to form an SIT to unravel conspiracy behind Jheeram valley massacre in May 2013 in Bastar in which several Congress leaders were killed by Maoists including then state Congress chief Nandkumar Patel, veteran leader V.C. Shukla and tribal leader Mahendra Karma.

    UP CM - a few days back had said that congress fooled farmers from Rajasthan, MP and Chhattisgarh on false promises of waiving farmer’s loans.
    Rogi cannot prove any favours and achievements he carried out so far and he is so arrogant that he has not regretted or admitted any and all the negligence’s that took place in UP (oxygen gas tragedy, bridge collapse, increased rape incidents).
    He is a born guilty conscience person and interfering in the wellbeing/politics of other neighboring states.
    Earth under Yogi's feet is shaking with fear of losing his seat in coming election and he tries his best to bring bad name to Rahul G. & Congress.
