Rahul Gandhi to Visit Balaghat Over Tribal Child Deaths Ahead of Amit Shah's Bhopal Trip
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi is set to visit Balaghat, Madhya Pradesh, on October 1 to meet families affected by the deaths of over 30 tribal children linked to malnutrition, poor water, and healthcare. This visit follows criticism of the state government's handling of the crisis. Meanwhile, Union Home Minister Amit Shah plans a Bhopal visit on October 3 amid heightened political activity. State officials, including Chief Minister Mohan Yadav, have already visited Balaghat, and the RSS will hold a major meeting in Indore during this period.
