In Hathras farmer murder too, pictures of the main accused in red cap with Samajwadi Party leaders were circulating whole day on social media,â he countered.

Odisha Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik on Friday urged banks to expedite the process of credit disbursement to farmers, self-help groups and MSMEs to help them overcome financial constraint arising out of the COVID-19 crisis. During a virtual meeting with bankers, district collectors and top officers of the state government on the credit linkage issues, he hailed a section of lenders for making progress in providing loans to the priority sector. The chief minister said farmers, Mission Shakti groups and MSMEs need credit to run and expand their businesses. We need to support them, Patnaik said. From the last meeting in December last year, an additional amount of around Rs 1,600 crore was given to Mission Shakti groups, which is Rs 500 crore more than the annual target, the chief minister said.
