As soon as Congress forms governmemnt, Rs 2 lakh (farm) loans will be waived off and you (farmers) will get the right MSP. This will be done in a few month's time (of Congress forming government)," he said.He said Congress ticket in polls will be given on a merit basis, "regardless of how powerful you are, or how big you are"."If you are not with the poor, farmers, you will not get the Congress ticket," he said.He recalled creation of new state of Telangana during rule of Congress-led UPA government."To fulfil the dream of Telangana, people gave their blood and tears and fought for it.
