Madhya Pradesh chief minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan has attacked Congress leader Rahul Gandhi and senior Congress leader and former MP chief minister Kamal Nath on the issue of the new farming laws and the ongoing protests.
Chauhan has said that the Congress leaders call the Bharatiya Janata Party leaders "anti farmer", but they themselves are responsible for burdening the farmers with interests on loans.
Chouhan added that we (his party) will remove the burden from the heads of farmers.
Rahul Gandhi & Kamal Nath who call us 'anti farmers', you placed the burden of Interest on the heads of farmers. We, the BJP Govt, will remove this burden from their heads.

Chouhan was speaking in Ujjain. He added that Rahul Gandhi had said in Madhya Pradesh that their government will make the farmers debt free within 10 days of coming to power, however, the situation took such a shape that even those farmers who would repay loans on regular terms became defaulters.
Chouhan also said that those people who have no link with agriculture are opposing Prime minister Narendra Modi on the new farm laws.

Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
