Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge addresses during a public meeting, in Sagar district (Pic/PTI)
He was addressing a public rally in Sagar in MP's Bundelkhand region. Assembly polls are expected to be held in the BJP-ruled state at the end of the year
He announced that the Congress will set up a university in the name of Sant Ravidas in Sagar district if voted to power in Madhya Pradesh. Kharge also said that Congress will conduct a caste-based census in MP after returning to power
He also alleged that the BJP government has not implemented the Bundelkhand package approved on the recommendation of the senior Congress leader Rahul Gandhi
"Modi ji is in power for the last nine years while Chouhan (Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan) is ruling the state for the last 18 years. They remembered Ravidas only at the time of the polls," Kharge said. Citing a newspaper report, Kharge claimed that the BJP demolished a temple of Sant Ravidas in Delhi
