Meanwhile in Chhattisgarh on Saturday, Rahul Gandhi targeted the BJP-led central government and Prime Minister Narendra Modi over the Congress demand for a caste census in the country and said more benefits will be given to farmers in Chhattisgarh if the party comes back to power in the state. He alleged that the BJP uses 'Vanvasi' instead of 'Adivasi' for the tribal population living in forested areas.

Congress leader also alleged that the BJP government had not fulfilled its promises and accused it of working in the interest of industrialists." 'Adivasi' is a revolutionary word. 'Adivasi' means the first owner of the country. The BJP does not use this word because they know that if they use it, they will have to return the jungle, water, and land to you," he said. Uttarakhand: Congress Leader Rahul Gandhi Receives Warm Welcome by Locals Upon Arrival at Kedarnath Temple (Watch Video).
