Raipur
In the capital Raipur, the war between the BJP and the Congress over the demonstration of the Congress Chief Minister’s residence siege has intensified. While senior BJP MLA Ajay Chandrakar described the Congress’ performance as “an attempt to live alive”, former Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel called Chandrakar a “fly lying in milk”.
Describing the Congress’ performance as a ‘political gimmick’, Ajay Chandrakar said, “Congress has to live and look alive, for this all these are undertakings. My sympathy is with the attempts of the Congress. Keep playing the role of the opposition.”
He also questioned the absence of prominent Congress leaders in the demonstration and referring to former Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel’s visit to Bhubaneswar, saying, “What you consider to be big leaders are not at all. There are only leaders in family parties, none.”
On the Constitution Save Campaign, Chandrakar asked the Congress, “How many times did the Constitution amend during his tenure?
On the Jan Jagran Abhiyan and Waqf Board amendment, he said, “Whenever there is an innovation in the country, some people shout ‘Wolf Aaya Wolf’. Congress agenda is to make Rahul Gandhi the Prime Minister, while Narendra Modi’s goal is developed India.”
Former Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel reacted sharply to Ajay Chandrakar’s statements, saying, “Ajay Chandrakar is like a fly in the milk. Cabinet was looking forward to expansion, but the party has sidelined him. First look around you, then comment on Congress.”
CM Sai was surrounded by tribals as ‘the greatest Hindu’
When CM Vishnu Devasay described the tribals as the ‘greatest Hindu’, Bhupesh Baghel advised him to read the constitution. The former CM said, “Describing the tribal as a Hindu, their reservation will end. This is a direct attack on their identity and rights. The Chief Minister should not give such irresponsible statements.”
Questions raised on Vice President’s statement
Explain that Vice President Dhankhar had questioned the judiciary to determine the deadline to take the decision of the President and act as ‘Super Parliament’. He said on Thursday that the Supreme Court could not fract a ‘nuclear missile’ on democratic forces.
Regarding this remark of the Vice President, former CM Baghel said, “The Supreme Court’s decision increases the dignity of the legislature. Many bills are pending with the Governor in the state. Despite the order of the Supreme Court, the Governors are not approved him. Then why is the Vice President objecting to this?”
Congress is demonstrating in favor of public
Baghel described the demonstration of the Congress Chief Minister’s residence siege as necessary in the public interest. “The law and order situation in the state is very bad. BJP’s own leaders are writing letters demanding to increase security. The government itself believes that the situation is not under their control. So the Congress is doing this in favor of the public.”
