CAG unearths misuse of farm loan waiver scheme. http://indiatoday.intoday.in/story/cag-upa-irregularities-in-farm-loan-waiver-scheme-unearthed-india-today/1/247641.html One of the sops that delivered them the 09 elections is a scam. Quelle Surprise?!
jairamesh Posted January 26, 2013 Posted January 26, 2013 The United Progressive Alliance(UPA) government's biggest election sop announced ahead of the 2009 Lok Sabha polls had a big impact on the electorate as it saw the coalition back in power for the second successive term. In February 2008, the UPA-1 had announced Rs.52,280 crore farm loan waiver for farmers. The pre-poll trick delivered a second term for the UPA. However, callous ministers as well as corrupt and inefficient government machinery kept farmers entrapped in a vicious debt cycle. The CAG says, for five years the government made no effort to carry out an audit or to find out if Rs.52,000 crore of taxpayers' money was spent properly. And Congress will announce another dud scheme in 2014, and these illiterates farmers with their gold fish memories will again vote for them. CONgress rule secured.
