Congress MP Rahul Gandhi would have liked the Rs 60,000-crore farm loan waiver to be extended to more farmers. He wants the loan waiver to be extended to farmers owning more than two hectares. A noble idea perhaps but Union Agriculture Minister Sharad Pawar on Monday explained why the Government cannot implement it.
