Wanted to hold a meeting like Indira Gandhi: Digvijaya

He said, “In 1979, Indira Gandhi had visited Sailana, Ratlam. A public meeting was organized here at 12 o'clock in the night. After this she went to Mandsaur to hold another meeting at 2 pm. We wanted to hold (Rahul Gandhi's) meeting here yesterday, but we missed it.”
He added that the tribal area has been a supporter of the Congress party for a long time. It was Congress that gave them (tribals) freedom. “Congress gave them lands. Gave jobs to their children and made them MLA, minister and chief minister,” he said.
