Union Home Minister Amit Shah on September 2 launched an ‘Aaorp Patra’ [chargesheet or a catalogue of allegations] against the Bhupesh Baghel-led Congress government in Chhattisgarh alleging that it was deeply entrenched in corruption, dynastic politics and casteism.
Accusing the State government of indulging in scams, abetting religious conversions and committing atrocities, Mr. Shah said that as far as the people were concerned, the Congress regime was equivalent to “tasting poison”.
“The people of Chhattisgarh have to decide whether they want the Baghel-led government that indulges in corruption to the tune of thousands of crores or the BJP government which is going to lead them on the path of development. The people of Chhattisgarh have to decide whether they want the government that came to power on the promise of protecting tribal rights but allowed a wave of religious conversions to be unleashed,” he said, while exuding confidence that the BJP would win the Assembly election due later this year.
