While addressing this election meeting, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi said that we had promised the people of Chhattisgarh to waive off the loans of farmers. Which has been completed. We had promised to buy paddy for Rs 2500 per quintal, we have gone beyond that and purchased paddy. He said that in the coming time we will take this number to 3 thousand. Rahul Gandhi said that farmers and laborers have benefited from Kisan Nyay Yojana. If the government comes back to power in the state, instead of Rs 7 thousand, the laborers will give Rs 10 thousand to the farmers. There has been a historic change in the field of farming here. Accusing the Bharatiya Janata Party, he said that BJP is privatizing schools and hospitals. Regarding the need for caste census, Rahul Gandhi during his speech said that 90 IAS people run the government of India, these people make plans and take decisions. There should be equal participation of tribal Dalit officers among these officers also. Therefore there is a need for caste census.
