    The Congress's Kisaan Abhaar Sammelan in Raipur

    Congress is holding the Kisaan Abhaar Sammelan in Raipur to express its gratitude to Chhattisgarh's people, especially farmers, for bringing the party back to power after 15 years in the state. In a landslide victory, Congress won 68 of 90 seats in Chhattisgarh Assembly polls held November last year. Chhattisgarh CM Bhupesh Baghel and senior Congress leader PL Punia also attended the event.

    Rahul Gandhi also distributed loan waiver certificates to farmers

    A large number of farmers from across Chhattisgarh, including the Maoist-hotbed of Bastar, were expected to participate in the Kisaan Abhaar Sammelan. At the event, Rahul Gandhi also distributed loan waiver certificates to beneficiary farmers as promised. Before the Assembly elections last year, the Congress chief had promised that his party would waive off farm loans if voted to power in the state.
