The Chief Minister further said that the waiver of farm loans by allocating a whopping Rs 31,000 Crore funds at one go created a new record in the history of the country.

"No state in the history of the country has waived such a large amount of farmers' loans so far", he said, maintaining that political parties usually remember the farmers during the election period and lure them with promises and that there are no elections and no political interests in the waiver of farm loans except safeguarding the interests of the distressed farmers.

While the assembly session is going on, Revanth Reddy launched the second phase of the farm loan waiver scheme up to Rs 2 lakh at the Assembly premises in Hyderabad on Tuesday.
