On November 8, 2016, PM Modi had announced a ban on then in use Rs. 1,000 and Rs. 500 denomination bank notes with immediate effect.
Rahul promised that the Congress, if it came to power in Madhya Pradesh, would cancel farmers’ loans within10 days. If this did not happen, it would change the chief minister, he said.
Rahul said that if the loans of industrialists worth Rs 3.5 lakh crore could be waived off, the same could be done for farmers. However, he said Modi would instead waive off the remains Rs 12 lakh crore loans of industrialists.
Rahul also claimed that Modi cancelled the deal made by the erstwhile UPA government for the purchase of 126 Rafale aircraft from France without informing the Indian Air Force or former Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar.
