CM Bhupesh Baghel promises free bus travel for students if Congress voted back to power in Chhattisgarh

Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel Sunday promised free bus travel for students if the Congress is voted back to power in the upcoming Assembly elections.

During the ‘Bhet Mulakat’ interactive session with the youth at Balbir Singh Juneja Indoor Stadium in Raipur, a student named Devendra Satnami from Kasdol requested free bus travel for college students. Baghel replied that it was a good suggestion and would definitely include it in the Congress manifesto for the Assembly elections later this year.

Around 11,000 students from the Raipur region, including the Dhamtari, Gariaband, Raipur, Balodabazar-Bhatpara and Mahasamund districts, participated in the session. Such interactions will also take place in the Bastar, Surguja, Durg and Bilaspur regions, covering 28 districts.
