Addressing two separate election rallies in the insurgency-affected Bastar region of poll-bound Chhattisgarh on Thursday, Union Home Minister Amit Shah said the people have to choose between a Congress government that encouraged Naxalism and a BJP government that eliminated it.
Mr. Shah also countered the allegations of the ruling Congress in the State that the BJP-led Centre was going to privatise the newly commissioned Nagarnar Steel Plant in Bastar.
Addressing the Parivartan Sankalp Mahasabha’ rallies in Jagdalpur and Kondagaon, the Home Minister urged people to bring the BJP to power in the State, promising that his party will rid the entire State of the Naxal menace.
