Chhattisgarh: Rahul Gandhi Asserts Government Is Managed by Bureaucrats, Not MLAs or MPs:
Gandhi emphasized the role of bureaucracy in formulating government policies and its day-to-day governance. He mentioned that around ninety bureaucrats are responsible for shaping government policies.
Furthermore, Gandhi advocated for the implementation of a caste census to promote the development of all segments of society. He likened a caste census to an X-ray of India, stating that it would provide insights into the population distribution among OBCs, tribals, and individuals from the general category. This data, he argued, would facilitate more inclusive progress for the nation.
Recognizing the importance of increasing women’s participation across all sectors, Gandhi stressed that conducting a caste census is essential for achieving this goal.
Gandhi commended the Bhupesh Baghel-led government in Chhattisgarh for fulfilling the promises made by the Congress party before the 2018 assembly elections. He cited several accomplishments, including reduced electricity bills, fair prices for paddy, unemployment allowances for over 1.30 lakh jobless youths, and significant input subsidies disbursed to farmers under the ‘Kisan Nyay Yojana.’ Additionally, landless farmers received annual financial assistance, and tribals benefited from fair pricing for minor forest produce.
During the event, the Chhattisgarh Gramin Awas NYAY Yojana was launched, and house sanction letters were distributed to 33,000 beneficiaries.
After the event, Rahul Gandhi traveled to Raipur from Bilaspur by train, engaging with passengers during the journey. He then departed for Delhi from Raipur by flight.
