Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel on Friday appealed to the people of Himachal Pradesh to make the Congress victorious in the upcoming Assembly polls in the state. He also hit out at the ruling BJP in the state and also at the Centre over inflation and alleged that the government is pulling money out of the common man’s pockets. The remarks of the Chief Minister came while addressing a public meeting in poll-bound Himachal Pradesh’s Solan.
“The BJP govt works to pull out money from your pockets, by increasing the prices of petrol, and diesel. Now they have imposed GST as well, 5 percent on Rotis and 18 per cent on Paranthas’… Make Congress win in Himachal by a 3/4th majority,” Baghel said.
He claimed that his government in Chhattisgarh waived off the farm loans within 2 hours as against the deadline of 10 days as promised by the Congress ahead of the state assembly elections in 2018.
