Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Saturday promised free education in government schools and colleges in Chhattisgarh and Rs 4,000 a year for `tendu` leaves collectors if his party retains power in the state, reported news agency PTI.
Addressing an election rally in the Bhanupratappur assembly constituency in Kanker district, Rahul Gandhi asked if Prime Minister Narendra Modi brings up `OBC` (other backward class) in his speeches, then why he is scared of a caste census, reported PTI.
