Raipur: If the Congress wins the next general election, it will guarantee a minimum income for the poor in the country, Congress president Rahul Gandhi announced at the Kisan Abhar Sammelan organised here to express the party’s gratitude to farmers for voting the Congress to power in Chhattisgarh.
However, Congress had promised to write off loans of farmers within ten days of coming to power in Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and Chhattisgarh.
“Our governments in these three states have implemented the promise made by the Congress,” he added.
He said his party has always worked in the interest of the farmers and cited the return of agriculture lands acquired for an abandoned Tata Steel project in Chhattisgarh by the state government to the farmers. He also recalled that it was the Congress that was instrumental in ushering in the green revolution in the country.
