New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed a traders’ convention Friday in New Delhi and assured that if his government was brought back to power, traders would be allowed to take up a loan up to Rs 50 lakh without collateral, conveying that this community formed the backbone of the Indian economy.
He also announced that if re-elected, he would form a National Traders’ Welfare Board, introduce credit cards for traders and initiate a pension scheme for small shopkeepers.

Whose money? It was same question BJP asked Congress minimum income. Both parties are fooling voters. Thousands are already getting money from banks, Modiji is adding more. When we go to banks to take our own money beyond a lakh, there are restrictions.
This is a huge scam in the making as loan without collateral will become an organised scam to wipe out the PSU banks funds. All poll promises and manifestoes schemes that targets certain geographies, caste, communities, trades, etc, etc whose benefit is not extended to 100% of the population should be funded by the political party making the promises and not from tax payer’s money. By the way when will honest tax payers get a fair deal in this country?
One more false promise by PM Modi, this time to traders.
