Deputy CM Vijay Sharma, while targeting Congress Lok Sabha candidate from Bastar, Kawasi Lakhma, said that Deepak Baij, whose election campaign is being conducted, had said that the collector should be slapped. They should be asked how serious should be taken on a simple symbolic topic. The issue is that he cannot have double standards for different people. What would you think if there is no light in Raipur for 24 hours? There is no light in remote villages, they are far away from basic needs. The people living in the inner villages of Bastar, where basic needs are needed, are hopeful that when the BJP MPs will come back victorious from Bastar, then this problem will definitely be resolved.
Deputy Chief Minister Vijay Sharma hit back at former Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel’s statement that elections would be conducted through ballot paper and said that he is withdrawing his statement due to public opposition. He has said this not once but many times. The world is accepting EVM machines. The Election Commission has even said that EVMs should be hacked and shown. If he is saying this with the intention of protesting then he is wrong. He should apologize for presenting things in a distorted manner.
