Addressing the multitude, Priyanka Gandhi outlined the commitments of the Congress government in the state, promising to purchase 20 quintal acres of paddy, provide a minimum support price of Rs 3,200 per quintal, waive farmers’ loans, offer free education from Kindergarten to Post Graduation, and upgrade all government schools to Atmanand schools.

Gandhi pointed out the alleged failures of the BJP government, indicating that Chhattisgarh faced turmoil during their rule. In contrast, she praised the Congress government’s efforts, highlighting the financial inclusion of public money into citizens’ pockets and the state’s economic progress.
She criticized the Modi government’s focus on corporate interests and neglect of the general populace, referencing the alleged sale of public sector companies to industrialists at nominal rates.
