HDK mocks PM's 'Na khaunga, na khane dunga' remark after Rs 68,607 crore loan waiver

Bengaluru: Former chief minister HD Kumaraswamy on Tuesday, April 28 took a jibe at Prime Ministers Narendra Modi’s “Na khaunga, na khane dunga” remark stating that this has proved to be yet another jumla.

The JDS leader was reacting to the RTI reply from RBI regarding Rs 68,607 crore loan waiver of top 50 wilful defaulters, including Nirav Modi, Mehul Choksi and Vijay Mallya.

Lashing out at the Centre, Kumaraswamy, in a series of tweets said that this government was more concerned about the scamsters and defaulters rather that helping the middle class, farmers and poor people.

Really? At a time when the whole world is worried about unprecedented economic emergency, writing off Rs 68,000 crore loans of wilful big fish defaulters became the best antidote to the economic crisis? And how is 50k cr package to mutual funds going to help the common man?, he wrote in a tweet.
