Raman Singh has made Chhattisgarh almost Naxalism-free: Amit Shah
The Raman Singh government in Chhattisgarh had made the state "almost free" of Naxalism and developed it as a hub of power and cement production, BJP president Amit Shah said while addressing a press conference in Raipur (capital of Chhattisgarh) today. Targeting the opposition Congress, he said a party that felt Naxalism was a medium for revolution could not do any good for Chhattisgarh.
Shah confident of BJP winning Chhattisgarh Assembly polls
Shah exuded confidence that the BJP would win Chhattisgarh's Assembly polls for the fourth straight time. The 90-member Assembly will go to the polls in two phases- on November 12 and 20, and the results will be announced on December 11. After releasing his party's manifesto ahead of the first-phase of polling, Shah said, "The BJP government under CM Raman Singh has contained Naxalism."
'Working tirelessly for state's development for last 15yrs big challenge'
"Taking on the Congress's propaganda and working tirelessly for the state's development for the last 15 years is a big challenge," Shah said, adding the state government had initiated several welfare measures and made the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA) scheme corruption-free.
