What agenda does the BJP have for Chhattisgarh?
Our election manifesto has a separate supplement for Chhattisgarh. For progress. Its minerals and natural resources should be used. The raw resources should at least be mined and be exported out of the area. Or perhaps not sent out and the processing should happen here. Factories and workshops should be established. Employment must come. Irrigation projects opened. Tourism must develop. Infrastructure should be introduced. The area has so many natural resources. There is a lot of work. The Congress says Chhattisgarh has been in their manifesto from the beginning. But the BJP has taken the credit. (He laughs. He laughs again.) Seventy years ago. The country was not even independent and they had that plan. From that time it has been in their manifesto. They talk like fools. I feel like laughing. Why did they not do it? For 50 years they ruled the country. Who stopped them? Why has progress on the birth of the new state been slow though the BJP has been in power for the last eight months?
