Citing a recent reply in Rajya Sabha, K Kavitha claimed that "Rs 19,40,000 crore of loans of corporates in the country have been waived off."
Alleging that the NDA government is anti-farmer and pro-corporate, ruling BRS MLC in Telangana K Kavitha on Thursday said the BJP which claimed to be 'chowkidars' were "sleeping" when corporate loan defaulters of banks were looting public money.
Citing a recent reply in Rajya Sabha, she claimed that "Rs 19,40,000 crore of loans of corporates in the country have been waived off." "My sincere request to the people of this country. We should now realise that the people, the party, the government which claims that they will be 'chowkidars' in this country were sleeping while the corporates were looting this country and going away. We do not need sleeping 'chowkidars'. We need 'jimmedar netas' (leaders who are responsible) to make sure that the wealth of this country stays in this country," she told reporters in Nizamabad.
If the NDA government is sincere, it should get all these 'looteras' (looters) back into the country, she said.
She further said burdening the farmers, the poor people and imposing taxes on essential items like milk and curd is not the way to lead the country.
