Raipur : Chief Minister Mr. Baghel said that we waived off the loans of the farmers as soon as the government was formed. Loans of more than 19 lakh farmers worth Rs 9.5 thousand crore were waived off.

We have fulfilled our promises to the farmers, despite the losses. Procured paddy for Rs 25 hundred per quintal.

Central government warned us saying if we give even one rupee more than the support price to the farmers, paddy would not be taken from the state for central pool, but we still remained firm on our decision and fulfilled our promise.
