The
Leader of Opposition in the assembly, Congress's Radhakrishna Vikhe Patil,
moved the notice under the Maharashtra Legislature's Section 273, addressed to
Speaker Haribhau Bagade.
In
the notice, Vikhe Patil said that in recent times there has been a spate of
farmland suicides across the country and 8,000 farmers have ended their lives
in the past two years in Maharashtra alone. The Total Investment & Insurance Solutions
"The
people of Maharashtra have been demanding a complete farm loans waiver package
and the issue has been repeatedly raised in the legislature in the past few
days. In Uttar Pradesh, the BJP has assured it will take a decision on loans
waiver in the very first cabinet meeting," Vikhe Patil said. The Total Investment & Insurance Solutions
Under
these circumstances, he pointed out that Bhattacharya's public comments that
such a measure "would disturb the credit discipline among the borrowers,
they would keep expecting more such waivers in future and even those (future)
loans would remain unpaid" was tantamount to rubbing salt in the farmers'
wounds.
Vikhe
Patil said the SBI chief was "a public servant" and not "a
policy-maker" for the country or the state. The Total Investment & Insurance Solutions
Besides,
he said her comments were beyond her jurisdiction since any decision on waiving
off farm loans can be taken only by the legislature and by her comments she had
insulted the Maharashtra legislature. The Total

these aspects in view, he urged the Speaker to take further steps.
Vikhe
Patil's move came a day after the opposition parties trolled Bhattacharya for
her comments and demonstrated outside the SBI headquarters. The Total Investment & Insurance Solutions
