RAIPUR: Congress National President Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday told voters in poll-bound Chhattisgarh that, if voted to power, his party will provide jobs to the youth, free treatment in government hospitals and waive off farmers’ loans.
Addressing a rally here ahead of the second phase of polling in the state on November 20, Rahul Gandhi also charged the Modi government with ensuring benefit to Anil Ambani’s company through the Rafale aircraft deal.

The Congress, if propelled to power, would write off debts of farmers in Chhattisgarh within 10 days into government, Rahul said.
Congress will get you Rs 2,500 for paddy. In every district, every block, the Congress party will put up food processing units. In the same factory, your children will get jobs,” he added.
