Raipur: BJP IT cell head Amit Malviya on Tuesday took a swipe at Chhattisgarh chief minister Bhupesh Baghel claiming that the Congress leader was playing a popular ‘tile-matching’ video game on his mobile phone during a party meeting on the selection of candidates for the upcoming assembly polls.

Sharing a purported photograph from the meeting, Malviya said a “relaxed” Baghel thought it was “appropriate to play Candy Crush” knowing “no matter how much he fights, the government will not come.”

“Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel is also relaxed, he knows that no matter how much he fights, the government will not come,” Malviya said in a social media post.

Reacting to it, CM Baghel today wrote on Twitter, “Earlier BJP had objection that why do I ride a cart, why do I ride a bumblebee, why do I play gilli danda, why are Chhattisgarh Olympics being held in the state? Got photo before a meeting yesterday in which I’m playing Candy Crush. Now BJP has objection on that. In fact, they have objection to my existence. But it is the people of Chhattisgarh who decide who will stay and who will not. I will also ride the cart and play gilli danda. Candy Crush is also my favorite. I have passed the level well, that will also continue. Rest of Chhattisgarh knows whom to bless”.

The ruling Congress is seeking to retain power in Chhattisgarh by banking on the welfare schemes of the Baghel government, while the Bharatiya Janata Party is hoping to corner it on the issues of alleged corruption and unfulfilled poll promises.
