Congress holds village chaupal in Khargone's Rehgaon, Sachin Yadav says 9,000 votes cut in Kasrawad

The Congress held a village chaupal at Rehgaon in Khargone on Wednesday as part of its "Vote Bachao-Desh Bachao" campaign.

Before the chaupal, a Narmada puja was performed and a meet-and-greet gathering was held. Former minister Sachin Yadav and former state Congress president Arun Yadav then travelled to the venue seated in a decorated bullock cart.

The leaders spoke on the issue of names being deleted from the voter list and alleged vote theft. Sachin Yadav said 9,000 votes had been cut in the Kasrawad Assembly constituency. He appealed to party workers to strengthen their booths.

Arun Yadav said the strength of democracy lies in the citizen and the citizen's vote. According to him, it is essential that every citizen's name is on the voter list and that their right to vote is protected. He also said the aim of the "Vote Bachao-Desh Bachao" campaign is to make people aware and to defend democratic values.

During the programme, Congress workers raised the slogan "Pehle lade the goron se, ab ladenge choron se" (We fought the British before, now we will fight the thieves). It was stated that a special strategy has been prepared for the region's development if a Congress government is formed.
