Sep 09, 2023
Raipur (Chhattisgarh) [India], September 9 : Stepping up the attack on the Bhupesh Baghel government in poll-bound Chhattisgarh, the BJP's state chief Arun Sao on Saturday said the Congress regime has been a complete failure when it comes enforcing law and order.
Speaking to ANI on Saturday, Sao said, "A BJP delegation on Saturday met the governor and expressed concerns about rising crimes against women in the state. We expressed concern over the deteriorating law and order situation in the state."
"This government has shown itself to be an abysmal failure in enforcing law and order in the state. Today, our daughters are not safe. Crimes are on the rise and the government remains unmoved," the BJP state chief claimed.
Further, laying into the Congress government, Sao said, "This government has been busy indulging in corruption. And where there is corruption, crimes are bound to happen. We have urged the governor to impress on the state government to fix the law and order situation in the state."
Earlier, on September 2, Union Home Minister Amit Shah, on a visit to the state capital, Raipur, unveiled the BJP's 'Aarop Patra' (chargesheet) against the Congress government.
"The upcoming state assembly elections are not just about a change of regime but it is also about securing the future of Chhattisgarh. The people have to decide if they want to give another term to Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel's corrupt government or vote for a development-oriented government of the BJP in the state. Dilli ka Darbaar (oblique reference to the Gandhi family) can do nothing good for Chhattisgarh. It is only the BJP, which can save the state from corruption," Shah said taking a jibe at the Baghel government.
The state is due to go to polls later this year.
The ruling Congress, the BJP and the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) are putting their shoulders to the wheel ahead of the polls.
The AAP, on Friday released its first list of ten candidates for the upcoming elections.
