The Uttar Pradesh cabinet will hold its first meeting on April 4 during which a decision on farm loan waiver, the BJP’s biggest poll promise, could be taken.
A proposal of write off farmer loans had been sent to the cabinet, agriculture minister Surya Pratap Shahi told media in Varanasi on Sunday.
The BJP surprised everyone when it named 44-year-old Hindu hardliner Yogi Adityanath as the chief minister after a massive win in the state election. Adityanath took oath of office on March 19 but has not held a cabinet meeting so far.
