As the Chhattisgarh Assembly elections approach, a controversy has erupted with the circulation of a viral video featuring Congress MLA Ramkumar Yadav holding a bundle of currency notes.
Allegations by BJP: Bharatiya Janata Party’s State General Secretary, OP Chaudhary, has raised concerns over the video and called on the Chief Minister to take action against the MLA or involve the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) for a thorough investigation. Chaudhary emphasized that if the Chief Minister fails to take action, it may be perceived as tacit approval of such activities under his administration.
CM Bhupesh Baghel’s Response: In response to these allegations, Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel mentioned that BJP leader OP Choudhary had previously circulated an old video related to SECL. He questioned whether the state government would acknowledge the video’s authenticity, whether Congress would refer it to the CBI for investigation, and whether Congress would take action against its MLA. Baghel expressed his commitment to addressing such issues and noted that despite various FIRs against him, the BJP leader would persist in raising these matters. He also commented on the recent propaganda surrounding Prime Minister Modi’s meeting, emphasizing that it drew a significant turnout despite Congress’s efforts to discredit it.
Election Context: These allegations and controversies come in the run-up to the Chhattisgarh Assembly elections, adding a new layer of intrigue and debate to the political landscape.
