Raipur. Former CM Bhupesh Baghel today expressed his reaction to the allegations of CM Vishnudev Sai. Apart from this, he questioned the petition presented in Parliament by MP Santosh Pandey, Finance Minister OP Choudhary and Deputy CM Vijay Sharma on the elimination of Naxalism in the Mahtari Vandan Yojana. He accepted the Finance Minister’s challenge on the Mahtari Vandan Yojana and said his point.
Former CM Bhupesh Baghel, while responding to the allegations of Chief Minister Vishnu Dev Sai, said that which scam of the Congress government is CM Sai talking about. Which scam has been proven – PSC, liquor, coal, cow dung. In all this, only investigations are going on.
Bhupesh Baghel said that after CBI and ED, the central government has deployed EOW. Was anyone arrested in PSC? Did the making of fake holograms stop? Was the Mahadev Satta app shut down? Who are the suppliers of liquor now? He said that if there were scams, then why were they all shut down? The government should answer.
Reacting to Chief Minister Vishnudev Sai’s statement on good governance, former Chief Minister Baghel said that what good governance has come to Chhattisgarh in 6 months? There was arson in the Collector-SP office. Incidents of stabbing, robbery and murder are increasing in the state. Law and order has completely deteriorated in the state. Diarrhea and malaria have spread in the state and people are dying. Is this good governance in Chhattisgarh?
On presenting the petition before the Lok Sabha Speaker in the Mahadev Satta App case, former CM Baghel said that MP Santosh Pandey made false statements against me in the Parliament. I hope the Speaker will take cognizance of this matter and justice will be delivered.
Politics heated up on Mahtari Vandan Yojana
Former Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel challenged Finance Minister OP Choudhary and said that not all beneficiaries are getting benefits under Mahtari Vandan. He said that OP Choudhary talks about going to villages, but I challenge him to go to any ward of Raipur.
Let us tell you that Finance Minister OP Choudhary had said that Bhupesh Baghel ji, you had promised to give 500 rupees every month to women. You did not give even 5 rupees in 5 years. We are giving 1000 rupees every month to 70 lakh mothers and sisters, so they are facing problems. Come to your or my village. We will ask the mothers and sisters whether the money is coming or not. Stop the politics of allegations and counter-allegations.
Question asked on ending Naxalism
Former Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel paid tribute to the martyred soldiers and wished for the speedy recovery of the injured soldiers. He reacted to Home Minister Vijay Sharma’s statement on the elimination of Naxalism. Bhupesh Baghel asked, tell us how many villages have been freed from Naxalism in 6 months? Tell us where development work has reached in the interior areas? In the Congress government, we have made 600 villages Naxal-free?
Roads and electricity have been provided inside Abujhmad. Now, news of fake encounters comes from many places. There is talk of innocent tribals being arrested and killed. So will you eliminate Naxalism in this way in 3 years?
Politics heated up over mining expansion and felling of trees in Hasdeo Aranya
Former Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel said that the Rajasthan government is expressing gratitude for getting permission for mining. How was permission granted for mining expansion in Hasdeo Aranya? How are trees being cut? Whereas in the Congress government, a non-official resolution was brought to not expand mining and not cut trees. This resolution was brought by MLA Dharmjeet Singh. The ruling and opposition parties had passed the bill unanimously. But non-forestry work is going on in Hasdeo. This is contempt of the assembly.
