The BJP said on Thursday the Congress's claim of waiving farm loans in states ruled by it was a farce and alleged that the Rahul Gandhi-led party was waiving debts of its leaders in the name of farmers.
Addressing a press conference, Union minister Manoj Sinha said loan waiver promised by Gandhi is a "fraud" and a conspiracy to garner votes.
Asked whether the NDA government has any plans to waive farm loans across the country, Sinha said, "We do not support the policy that the central government should waive debts of farmers countrywide.
"We have been working to boost their income so that they could contribute more to the country's economy and themselves become economically strong to face challenges."
