Raipur: Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel on Sunday suggested Congress leader Rahul Gandhi should opt to travel by road rather than train from Raipur to Bilaspur, in view of the frequent cancellations of trains in the state. Speaking to the media, Baghel said, "There is a possibility that he may reach Bilaspur by train or road."

"The way the trains are getting cancelled, I would rather suggest that he prefers the road to reach Bilaspur and return by train due to frequent delays," Baghel told the reporters. Rahul Gandhi will attend the meeting organised in Parsada (Sakri) village of Takhatpur development block of Bilaspur.
