Shri Bhupesh Baghel has made it very clear that his government looks at everyone with the same vision. Everyone knows that his ideological differences with his father Shri Nandkumar Baghel are from the beginning.
Chief Minister Shri Baghel has said that our political views and beliefs are also completely different. As a son, I respect him but as a chief minister, none of his mistakes can be forgiven which would disturb the public order.
