Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, General Secretary of the Congress party, has announced that if her party is re-elected in Chhattisgarh, a caste census will be conducted in the state. She also promised ten lakh houses for the poor. Gandhi criticized the BJP-led government at the Centre, stating that it favors the rich and neglects the poor and middle class. The Congress party's announcement is seen as an attempt to attract the support of the Other Backward Classes (OBC), who make up a significant portion of the state's population.
