"The Sawan festival is celebrated as Hareli festival in Chhattisgarh. We are also launching our Gouthan scheme from today in which around 500 Gouthans (cowshed) will be unveiled. These will benefit our kisan brothers and this will be done by our party workers. And I give my best wishes to all," said Baghel.
