Raipur, January 03, 2023: Ruling Congress today organising a massive rally in the capital city apparently to put pressure on Raj Bhawan for early passage of the Reservation Amendment Bill, which favoured 76 per cent reservation for SC, ST, OBC and economically weaker sections of the society.

“We are expecting over a lakh people in the rally,” prominent Congress leader Girish Dewangan told ChhattisgarhTopNews.Com here.
