The HinduFrom a ₹500 subsidy on every gas cylinder refill, free electricity up to 200 units and a promise to purchase Tivra under the Minimum Support Price, Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on October 30 announced a slew of election promises while campaigning in Khairagarh Assembly constituency of Chhattisgarh, further amplifying Rahul Gandhi’s call to make all public education till post-graduation free in the State. Among other promises, Ms. Vadra added that the Congress government in Chhattisgarh would also ensure that all schools in the state are upgraded to the Swami Atmanand English and Hindi Medium School standards. With Mr. Singh’s nephew Vikrant Singh contesting against Congress for the Khairagarh seat, Mr. Baghel said it is time for people to make sure both uncle and nephew lose this year. “This is the government that fulfilled it’s promise to waive farm loans within hours of taking oath,” Mr Baghel said, promising more of the same if his party wins.
