LUCKNOW: Seeking to cash in on the massive farm loan-waiver scheme ahead of the Lok Sabha elections, prime minister Manmohan Singh has written a letter to its beneficiaries across the country “seeking their support”.

“Prime minister Manmohan Singh has written a letter to farmers to seek their support. The letter will reach them soon. The debt waiver of over Rs 70,000 crore has benefited crores of farmers in the country and they will be reached individually by the partymen,” AICC general secretary Digvijay Singh said.

With the Lok Sabha polls just months away, the Congress is all out to woo the people especially farmers in the Hindi heartland. The Congress also plans to include at least two to three members of the beneficiaries’ family into the party.

“The list of all the beneficiaries will be available on the website of banks in next few days,” a  party leader said.

Party leaders said the party is not working on a short-term goal of winning the Lok Sabha polls but is eyeing the 2012 assembly elections. The party also plans to finish the task of reconstituting its committees at gram-panchayat level by September and is expected to give due representation to people from backward and dalit communities.
