Raipur: Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel claimed that BJP will not come to power in the next Assembly elections slated for November 2023. The Chief Minister further said, "BJP very well understands that they are not coming to power in Chhattisgarh. Even the BJP workers in the state will stop the saffron party from coming to power in the state as they know that people will be deprived of welfare schemes like the mandatory purchase of 20 quintals of paddy from farmers, Rajiv Gandhi Kisan Nyay Yojana, Gau Dhan Yojana and others if it comes to power, the CM said.
Speaking about BJP's Ram Rajya, CM Baghel said that his government in the state has already brought 'Ram Rajya'. "Ram Rajya' is very well there in Chhattisgarh. We talk of 'Ram Rajya', especially about the ideal situations. Chhattisgarh has also such things or achievements to call it a Ram Rajya. Even Mahatma Gandhi also dreamt of Ram Rajya."
Commenting on Swami Shankaracharya Avimukteshwaranand's remarks on Hindu Rashtra, CM Baghel said, "The Union Home Minister emphasised running the country based on the Constitution of Baba Saheb Bhimrao Ambedkar. Hence, those vociferous for Hindu Rashtra should go and lay siege to Union Home Minister Amit Shah's residence."

"Several social welfare schemes in the state were appreciated by the NITI Ayog. The Prime Minister of the country in his tweets gave us a pat on back for successfully implementing social welfare schemes. But, BJP leaders in Chhattisgarh were involved in the negative projection of the state," Baghel summed up.
