Raipur: The political atmosphere in Chhattisgarh is heating up as both the BJP and Congress leaders engage in intense verbal duels. Chief Minister Baghel takes a direct swipe at BJP’s comments on inflation, dismissing them as carefully crafted scripts. He goes on to allege a close association between Raman Singh and Adani, insinuating a preconceived plan driving the actions of enforcement agencies like ED-IT. According to Baghel, the narrative of defamation and subsequent arrests is part of a larger scheme.
Responding to the recent shift of Assam’s CM to the BJP, Baghel suggests a narrative of opportunism. He questions the sudden move and emphasizes the ongoing natural disaster, stating that relief efforts should take precedence over political maneuvers.
In a counter to the comments made by Himachal’s former CM, Jairam Thakur, Baghel performs a rhetorical turn, questioning the achievements during Thakur’s five-year tenure. He subtly implies that Thakur’s current criticism may be a result of dissatisfaction with his past performance.
On the issues raised by Raman Singh, such as bonuses and loan waivers, Baghel doesn’t mince words. He points out the ban on bonuses by the central government in 2014 and challenges its removal, indicating his willingness to grant bonuses if elected. He frames this as a clear example of the current government’s inconsistencies.
The discussion shifts to the rising prices of essential commodities. Baghel criticizes the central government for its role in escalating fuel, gas, and oil prices. He highlights Congress’s commitment to addressing inflation, citing proposed gas subsidies and reductions in cylinder costs under the Ujjwala scheme as tangible measures. Baghel’s statements underscore the Congress party’s dedication to tackling economic challenges and offering concrete solutions in their manifesto.
