Rajnandgaon, 16th Oct. Union Home Minister Amit Shah accused the Congress of engaging in appeasement politics for the sake of votes if they regain power in Chhattisgarh after the upcoming assembly polls.
Speaking at a rally in Rajnandgaon city, Shah claimed that the Congress government has established a chain of corruption that extends all the way to Delhi.
He promised that if the BJP comes to power in Chhattisgarh, they will recover every stolen penny and punish the corrupt individuals.
Shah also criticized the previous Congress rule in the undivided Madhya Pradesh-Chhattisgarh, referring to it as a laggard state.
He credited the development of the state to the 15-year tenure of Raman Singh, who became the Chief Minister in 2003.
Shah further attacked the Bhupesh Baghel government for the communal violence in Biranpur village and questioned whether the people wanted Chhattisgarh to become a center of communal riots again.
The rally took place before the nomination filing of former Chief Minister Raman Singh and three other BJP candidates in Rajnandgaon.
The BJP has nominated Ishwar Sahu, the father of Bhuneshwar Sahu who was killed in the Biranpur riot, as their candidate for the Saja assembly segment in Bemetara district.
The elections for the 90 seats in Chhattisgarh will be held in two phases on November 7 and 17.
Pointing at Ishwar Sahu who was present on the stage, Shah said Bhuneshwar Sahu was lynched for vote bank and appeasement. “We will bring the murderer of Bhuneshwar Sahu to justice. We have given a ticket to his father”.
“Do you want Chhattisgarh to become the centre of communal riots once again? Should Bhuneshwar Sahu get justice or not? If Congress comes to power again, it will continue the politics of appeasement and vote bank,” he said.
Shah said various “scams” have taken place during the Congress rule in Chhattisgarh and accused CM Baghel of turning the state into the “ATM’ of Delhi darbar”.
Hailing the massive crowd at the rally, Shah said the enthusiasm of people shows that the lotus (BJP’s poll symbol) will bloom on December 3, the day of counting, in Chhattisgarh.
“The upcoming elections are not to elect any government or MLAs but to create a golden future under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi,” he added.
