New Delhi, October 16 (Press Ki Taquat)
A day after the Congress fielded all its top guns in the upcoming Chhattisgarh elections, the BJP went all guns blazing against the ruling party, accusing it of fomenting communal divide.
In Rajnandgaon today to accompany former CM Raman Singh for filing of nomination papers, Union Home Minister Amit Shah declared that Congress’ victory in the state would guarantee the return of appeasement politics.
Shah was referring to April riots in Bemetara district which left a local resident, Bhuneshwar Sahu, dead. Bhuneshwar’s father Ishwar Sahu has now been fielded as a BJP candidate from Saja in Bemetara.
“The Congress killed Bhuneshwar for vote bank politics. If the Congress returns to power, it will again start expanding appeasement politics. The BJP alone can get justice for Bhuneshwar Sahu,” Shah today said at a rally in Rajnandgaon, which Raman Singh is contesting for the fourth time. He won from here in 2008, 2013 and 2018.
