Referring to a viral video involving Union Minister Narendra Singh Tomar's son, Gandhi accused BJP leaders of looting public funds and causing financial losses to the people of the state. Promising a caste census if the Congress comes to power, Gandhi outlined key commitments, including providing LPG cylinders at ₹500, waiving farmers' loans up to ₹2 lakh, ensuring a minimum support price (MSP) of ₹2,600 for wheat (rising to ₹3,000), and offering free electricity up to 100 units.
