Amravati, Oct 30 (PTI) Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Thursday said a decision on farm loan waiver will be taken by June 30 next year.

He was speaking to reporters after a meeting with former MLA and Prahar Janshakti Party leader Bachchu Kadu, who is leading a massive protest for farm loan waiver.

The meeting between the CM and Kadu took place at Sahyadri guesthouse here after the former arrived in the metropolis following his official engagements in Amravati.

Fadnavis said the ruling Mahayuti had promised loan waiver in its election campaign.

The CM said he told protestors that presently it is important to ensure farmers get money in their bank accounts as compensation for flood relief and also to prepare for Rabi sowing.

Loan recovery will happen in June, he added.
