New Delhi: DMK working president M K Stalin on Saturday visited the protesting Tamil Nadu farmers at Jantar Mantar in the capital, and demanded that Prime Minister Narendra Modi waive off their loans like he promised in Uttar Pradesh during the recent Assembly polls there.
Leaders from Tamil Nadu cutting across the political spectrum have offered their support to the state's farmers who have been protesting at Jantar Mantar for the past 19 days demanding a drought relief package of Rs 40,000 crore from the Centre and farm loan waiver.
The Leader of Opposition in Tamil Nadu Assembly also said that Modi should allow the farmers to meet him and offer a consoling solution at the earliest.
Taking a dig at Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Edappadi Palaniswami, Stalin said, "The CM is only keen on R K Nagar elections at the moment."
CPI National Secretary D Raja, DMK MPs Tiruchi Siva and T K S Elangovan were also present. Stalin said an all-party meeting would soon be held on the issue.
