Nitin Namdev, Raipur. Cabinet Minister Lakhanlal Dewangan has hit back at Congress calling Korba Lok Sabha candidate Saroj Pandey an outsider. He said that Saroj Pandey is not from outside. She is the daughter of Chhattisgarh. Jyotsna Mahant is from Korba. She has also come from outside. We are residents of Korba and there is huge enthusiasm among the workers and the public there. Saroj Pandey is going to win with lakhs of votes. Jyotsna Mahant has not done any work for 5 years while being an MP.
The minister alleged that Mahant has done only one thing in 5 years and that is corruption. It has been 3 months since I became MLA from Korba. BJP has sanctioned Rs 35, 37 crore in DMF fund. These people have done only one thing, that is commission taking.
Let us tell you that Bharatiya Janata Party has nominated senior leader and National Vice President of BJP Saroj Pandey as its candidate from Korba Lok Sabha. In front of him, Congress has repeated the current MP Jyotsna Mahant.
