Chhattisgarh's Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel Bhupesh Baghel has made a scathing attack on BJP and said that there is a rule of law in Chhattisgarh and alleged that BJP is the one who likes blood, violence and hatred.
He said that five years ago, Chhattisgarh was continuously burning with the Naxalite problem. Baghel came down heavily on the BJP over issues like Naxalism, allocation of mines and alleged misuse of central agencies.
The CM said this while speaking to media persons in Raipur on Monday when asked the BJP accused Congress of being engaged in the politics of appeasement.
"There is a rule of law in Chhattisgarh. Five years back, Chhattisgarh was burning due to the problem of Naxalism and now we have pushed them (referring to insurgents) and they are restricted to limited areas. BJP is the one which likes blood, violence and hatred and for this reason, naxal activities increased continuously during their (BJP) tenure," said the CM.
Meanwhile, CM Baghel accused the BJP of trying to impact the peace of Chhattisgarh through ED and IT. By diverting the attention of everyone, BJP is conspiring to allocate all the mines to Adani, alleged the CM.
