“The Congress has decided to take a historic decision... The Congress-led government is going to give Minimum Income Guarantee. This means, each poor person in India will have minimum income guaranteed. This means there will be no hungry, poor people in India.”, he said.
He also distributed loan waiver certificates to some of the beneficiary farmers during the function. Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel and senior Congress leader PL Punia were among those present at the event. The Congress had posted a massive victory in last year's state Assembly polls, winning 68 of the total 90 seats. Ahead of the Assembly polls, Gandhi had given assurances that Congress would waive farm loans if his party was voted to power in the state.
