IndiaTimes Monday, 23 October 2023
In a major announcement ahead of the next month's assembly polls, chief minister of Chhattisgarh Bhupesh Baghel on Monday said if his party Congress retains office in the state, loans of farmers will be written off. Congress had made a similar promise ahead of the 2018 assembly polls to farmers, a move which contributed in the party recording a landslide win and ending the 15-year rule of BJP.
