Poor Will Get Free Treatment Up To Rs 10 Lakh In Chhattisgarh: Rahul Gandhi

Rahul Gandhi also said agricultural landless labourers (in rural areas) will be given Rs 10,000 per year in place of the existing Rs 7,000.

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Sunday promised free health treatment up to Rs 10 lakh for the poor under an existing scheme in Chhattisgarh if his party retains power in the assembly polls next month.

Addressing election rallies in the Rajnandgaon district headquarters and Kawardha (the headquarters of Kabirdham district), Mr Gandhi also said agricultural landless labourers (in rural areas) will be given Rs 10,000 per year in place of the existing Rs 7,000.

In a swipe at BJP, he said the "amount of money they give to Adani, we will give the same to labourers, farmers and small traders of Chhattisgarh".
