What happened to the debt-free law implemented during the Congress-JDS coalition government? : HDK Question
Mysore.-Union Minister for Heavy Industries and Steel H.D. Kumaraswamy has questioned whether the debt-free law was implemented during the Congress-JDS coalition government.
Speaking to reporters in K.R. Nagar yesterday, he said that the debt-free law bill was passed in the legislative session. After the Governor gave his consent, I personally went to Delhi and got the President’s signature. What did the subsequent governments do with that law? He expressed his dissatisfaction.
The state government, which says it will empower women by giving them Rs 2000 lakhs for housing, on the other hand, has given generous opportunities to the same women’s finances, he said.
Karnataka was a model for good governance. They are out to destroy it. What have these people, who are fighting for power, done to the people. A month ago, the microfinance crisis started in Chamarajanagar. People left their homes. Even though the problem started so long ago, and despite reports in the media about the crisis, the government has not taken action against anyone, he alleged.
Farmer women and poor women are mostly being targeted by microfinance. All of them are leaving their homes and towns. The Union Minister has questioned who is responsible for this.
Microfinance companies have raised their heads like dogs in the state. They are conducting illegal activities. There is no legal control.
You are saying that Devaraj Urs has been given equal power.. Not for these five years, but for the next five years as well. But, tell me what good things are being done for the people, he said.
There are 60 microfinances in Mandya district alone. Out of which 14-15 are licensed. The rest are operating illegally and causing trouble for the people. They gave power to the Congress party to do good for the state. However, he has accused them of working to destabilize opposition parties since coming to power.
