Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel has slammed the BJP for alleged “politics in the name of conversion.” Speaking at an event on Tuesday, Baghel claimed that the BJP is using religious conversion as a political tool to divide communities and gain votes.
“They do politics in the name of conversion. They try to divide the society in the name of religion and caste. But the people of Chhattisgarh will not fall for their divisive politics,” Baghel said.
The Chief Minister’s comments come amid ongoing controversy surrounding religious conversion in India. The issue has been a contentious one for many years, with various political parties accusing each other of attempting to convert people to their respective religions for political gain.
Baghel also spoke about the welfare schemes implemented by his government for the upliftment of the marginalized communities and emphasized that his government is committed to the welfare and development of all sections of society, regardless of religion or caste.
In recent years, there have been several instances of alleged forced conversions in India, which have led to tension between different religious communities. However, many experts and activists have pointed out that these instances are often politically motivated and used as a tool to polarize communities.
The Chief Minister’s statement is a clear indication that his government is committed to ensuring the unity and harmony of all communities in the state. He urged all citizens to unite and work towards the development of the state and the country, rather than allowing themselves to be divided by the divisive politics of certain political parties.
In conclusion, Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel has criticized the BJP for alleged “politics in the name of conversion” and emphasized that his government is committed to the welfare and development of all sections of society, regardless of religion or caste. He urged all citizens to come together and work towards the development of the state, rather than allowing themselves to be divided by divisive politics.
