Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar has said that the Mahayuti government has not gone back on its promise of a loan waiver for farmers, assuring that the measure will be implemented at the appropriate time, reported news agency PTI.

The Opposition Congress has been targeting the ruling alliance, accusing it of holding off on the farm loan waiver and not showing concern for the plight of cultivators in the state.

Speaking to reporters on Sunday, Pawar said, "We have not strayed from our promise of farm loan waiver. We are committed to what we assured in the Mahayuti manifesto. A committee has been formed, as such decisions require careful consideration of financial aspects," reported PTI.
