Chief Minister Raman Singh today launched a blistering attack on the Congress over several issues in Chhattisgarh Legislative Assembly, adding that the BJP was working on a target to win more than 65 seats in the coming assembly polls in the state.
Replying on the debate on the motion of thanks on the Governors address, Singh said the political scenario in the entire country was changing rapidly and the election results of Lok Sabha elections 2014 and subsequent ones in various Assembly elections and bypolls were an eye-opener for the Congress.
It is the result of good governance by the BJP that it is in power in 19 states, he said, adding that the vision of a 'Congress Mukt Bharat' (Congress free India) would soon be fulfilled.
