Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) claims that Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel was playing ‘Candy Crush’ during an important meeting of Congress. However, there has been no reaction from Congress regarding this. According to the program released by the Election Commission of India i.e. ECI, voting is going to be held in the state in two phases on 7th and 17th November.
BJP’s IT cell chief Amit Malviya has shared a picture. He has claimed that CM Baghel was seen playing games on the phone during the meeting. He wrote, ‘Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel is also relaxed, he knows that no matter how much he fights, the government will not come. Perhaps that is why instead of paying attention to the meeting related to Congress candidate selection, he thought it appropriate to play CANDY CRUSH.
On Tuesday itself, Chhattisgarh in-charge of Congress Kumari Selja said that the Central Election Committee is going to meet on October 12 to discuss the candidates. He said, ‘…there will be a meeting of our Central Election Committee on October 12…. The final decision will be taken by CEC only. When they give the final approval to it, then the final list of candidates will be released.
Political atmosphere of Chhattisgarh
In 90-seat Chhattisgarh, Congress had achieved absolute majority in 2018 by winning 68 seats. Whereas, BJP was limited to only 15 seats. This time BJP has launched a campaign in the name of Prime Minister Narendra Modi without presenting the chief ministerial face. On one hand, Congress is moving ahead with the help of public welfare schemes. At the same time, BJP has made preparations to corner the Baghel government on the issue of corruption.
