Durg: Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel participated in the Gaura-Gauri Puja ceremony in Janjgir district, expressing wishes for the prosperity of the state. During the event, Baghel partook in the traditional custom of eating Kush’s sprouts. However, this seemingly routine act took an unexpected turn when a villager named Birendra Thakur confronted him.

Chief Minister Baghel, a regular attendee of the Gaura-Gauri Puja in Janjgir, follows the tradition of consuming Kush’s sprouts every year. The ceremony holds cultural significance, and leaders often partake in the ritual to connect with the local community. Nevertheless, this time, the act of eating Kush’s sprouts became a subject of contention as Birendra Thakur directed a verbal attack at Baghel.
In response to BJP’s allegations regarding the Ghar Laxmi Yojana, Baghel countered, stating that the scheme had been initiated during the Lakshmi Puja.
