Congress forged ties with Naxals to stay in power in Chhattisgarh: Amit Shah

India TV News  

Accusing the Congress party of forging ties with Naxals to remain in power in Chhattisgarh before 2003, Bharatiya Janata Party president Amit Shah on Friday said the BJP government in the state had succeeded in containing the Maoist menace. At the convention which marked the conclusion of the Atal Vikas Yatra campaign launched by Chief Minister Raman Singh to highlight the achievements of his 15-year rule, the BJP president said, “Entire Chhattisgarh is gradually getting rid of Naxalism and heading on the path of development.” Shah further targeted the Congress ahead of the state Assembly polls over various issues and said, "Chhattisgarh once reverberated with the sound of bullets. "The BJP will be contesting the polls under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chief Minister Singh, but I want to ask Congress president Rahul Baba, who will lead the Congress? Shah further challenged the Congress for a debate on the work done during Modi's four-year rule and Raman Singh's 15-year tenure as against the opposition party's "55-year rule".
