Chhattisgarh Health Minister Ajay Chandrakar on Thursday compared state Chief Minister to Bhishma Pitamah from the Mahabharata, saying that he 'had a boon of euthenasia'.
“Chief Minister has a boon of euthanasia. Like the ‘Bhishma Pitamah’ he knows where to lose and when to win. So till the Chhattisgarh is made progressive and prosperous, he will not tell the secret when he will lose (elections),” he said in a gathering in Raipur on Friday.
Speaking on Congress president Rahul Gandhi’s visit to Raipur, he said a big party leader is arriving. “The party has given only migration and illiteracy in the State. They just put blame on everything on the ruling party,” he said.
Meanwhile, Congress chief Rahul Gandhi will visit Chhattisgarh to inaugurate the newly-built office. He will also launch the party’s election campaign in the poll-bound Rajasthan, which has remained a BJP bastion.
Last month, Gandhi went on a tour in Chhattisgarh. There, he had made several allegations against Raman Singh. Congress claimed that this time it will form the government in the state. At the same time, BJP says that the state is has progressed a lot under Raman Singh’s leadership and they are confident of him forming the government in the upcoming elections.
Earlier, terming the Congress as "irrelevant and obsolete", first chief minister of Chhattisgarh Ajit Jogi on Sunday dismissed suggestions that he was B team of the BJP and said he would contest against incumbent Raman Singh and his party in the upcoming elections in the state.
"Had I been B team I would not be contesting election from Rajnandgaon (the chief minister's constituency). Had I been B team I would have not faced a baseless case of murder. There should not been a false case of dacoity against me. My son faced charges of hatching a conspiracy to murder. Had I been B team this all would not have happened," he told PTI in an interview here.
Jogi said it was his faith in the judiciary that all these baseless charges were dropped against him and his son.
He said that a 'mahagathbandhan' (that is anti-BJP) was needed for the 2019 general election, but not for the Assembly polls due in the state later this year.
