Raipur: Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel lambasted Home Minister Amit Shah on his comments on double-engine governance in the State saying that it is indeed a troubled engine. Baghel lashed out at Shah, who came on the Korba tour and asked people to vote for the BJP in the ensuing Chhattisgarh Assembly elections, which are slated for 2023.
The Chief Minister reiterated that the people here know that the Central government is not a double engine but a troubled engine. Shah had asked the people of Chhattisgarh, "What work did the Congress do in four years?" Baghel responded to this by saying, "The public knows what work the Congress has done in the past four years. We take feedback from the public in meetings, unlike BJP."
