New Delhi: Home Minister Amit Shah on Friday released Bhartiya Janta Party’s (BJP) manifesto ‘Modi ki Guarantee 2023’ for Chhattisgarh Assembly polls
While releasing the manifesto in Raipur, Shah said, “I assure the people here that we will make Chhattisgarh a fully developed state in the coming five years.”
Earlier in the day, while addressing a rally in the Pandariya assembly constituency of the upcoming election state, Home Minister Amit Shah accused the Congress of being involved in scams. He stated that if the BJP gains power in the state, those engaged in corruption will be subject to imprisonment. Shah referred to Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel as a “prepaid CM” of the Congress, accusing him of turning the state exchequer into an ATM for the grand old party.
”In the Congress rule, religious conversion is on the rise. The Constitution gives liberty to every citizen to follow the faith of their choice. But they have started using the state machinery to convert poor tribals, which is not in the interest of the state. As a result of it, clashes have erupted in every house and village of the state, and the law and order situation has deteriorated,” he said.
Chhattisgarh will undergo polling in two phases. The first phase, covering 20 seats, is set for November 7, 2023, while the remaining 70 seats will be contested on November 17. Vote counting is slated for December 3, with the term of the Chhattisgarh Legislative Assembly concluding on January 3, 2024.
