The BJP president said, ‘There is not a single brick or stone laid by the Congress for development in Chhattisgarh. But I can say with confidence that BJP can claim its role on every single brick of development in the state.
JP Nadda said, ‘Congress never thought about the people, it only thought about itself and its family.. Congress (then Madhya Pradesh) had a long series of Chief Ministers, Arjun Singh, Motilal Vora and Shyama Charan. Shukla. There was also a long series of Prime Ministers (in the previous Congress government at the Centre). But Chhattisgarh was given its name by Bharat Ratna former Prime Minister late Atal Bihari Vajpayee.
Targeting the Bhupesh Baghel government over corruption, JP Nadda said, ‘There was a lunar eclipse on Saturday. Chhattisgarh has been under eclipse for five years and the opportunity has come to remove it. He urged people to support BJP candidate Vinod Khandekar from Dongargarh seat and bring BJP to power in next month’s elections.
