SP: Waive farmers` loans if voted to power in UP

The SP said it would provide free electricity to weavers and farmers and waive loans of kisans if it was voted to power in the assembly election.

Sitapur: The Samajwadi Party on Monday said it
would provide free electricity to weavers and farmers and
waive loans of kisans if it was voted to power in the Uttar
assembly election.

The party would also initiate an inquiry into alleged
misuse of funds by the BSP regime in the event of its
forming the government, SP supremo Mulayam Singh Yadav told a
poll rally here.

"If the SP is voted to power in UP, we will provide free
electricity to weavers and farmers besides waiving all loans
of kisans up to Rs 50000," he said.

"We will double unemployment allowance for youths and
provide flood allowance to farmers. Our government will also
initiate an inquiry into misuse of government funds by the
present regime," Yadav said.

Alleging the BSP government did nothing for the welfare
of people, he said Chief Minister Mayawati was busy in
"counting money earned through corrupt practices".

"Machines to count money are installed at Kalidas Marg
residence (of the CM). From Lekhpals (revenue officials) to
District Magistrates-- all are BSP agents," the SP chief said.

Despite being a dalit, Mayawati had done nothing for the
community, he said.

SP leader Mohammad Azam Khan said even death penalty
would not be a big punishment for those who misused government
funds for building parks and memorials.
