Congress will continue its appeasement politics if elected again in Chhattisgarh: Amit Shah
Rajnandgaon (PTI): Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Monday alleged the Congress will continue doing the "appeasement" politics for a vote bank if it returns to power in Chhattisgarh after the assembly polls next month.
Addressing a rally in Rajnandgaon city, Shah said the Congress government has built a "corruption chain" up to Delhi like a food chain (of restaurants). "If BJP comes to power in Chhattisgarh, we will recover every penny from the corrupt and they will be hanged upside down," he added.
He also said that the undivided Madhya Pradesh-Chhattisgarh had remained a 'BIMARU' (laggard) state during the Congress rule, but in 15 years after Raman Singh came to power (in 2003), it became a developed state.
Shah attacked the Bhupesh Baghel government over communal violence in Biranpur village of Bemetara district in April and asked people whether they wanted Chhattisgarh to become a centre of communal riots again.
The rally was held ahead of the filing of nomination forms of former chief minister Raman Singh and three other BJP candidates in Rajnandgaon.
The opposition BJP has fielded Ishwar Sahu, the father of Bhuneshwar Sahu who was killed in the Biranpur riot, from the Saja assembly segment in Bemetara district.
Polling for 90 seats in Chhattisgarh is scheduled to be held in two phases on November 7 and 17.
Pointing at Ishwar Sahu who was present on the stage, Shah said Bhuneshwar Sahu was lynched for vote bank and appeasement. "We will bring the murderer of Bhuneshwar Sahu to justice. We have given a ticket to his father".
"Do you want Chhattisgarh to become the centre of communal riots once again? Should Bhuneshwar Sahu get justice or not? If Congress comes to power again, it will continue the politics of appeasement and vote bank," he said.
Shah said various "scams" have taken place during the Congress rule in Chhattisgarh and accused CM Baghel of turning the state into the "ATM' of Delhi darbar".
Hailing the massive crowd at the rally, Shah said the enthusiasm of people shows that the lotus (BJP's poll symbol) will bloom on December 3, the day of counting, in Chhattisgarh.
"The upcoming elections are not to elect any government or MLAs but to create a golden future under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi," he added.

AIITA welcomes Karnataka’s ban on obscene songs in school events
Bhatkal: The Karnataka unit of the All India Ideal Teachers Association (AIITA) has welcomed the Karnataka government’s decision to strictly ban school children from dancing to obscene songs during educational and cultural programmes in government, aided, and private schools across the state.
AIITA Karnataka State President M. R. Manvi congratulated the government for taking what he termed an important step to preserve the sanctity of education.
“Such decisions to safeguard the dignity of school children and uphold the values of education are the need of the hour. This rule should not be limited to government schools alone but must be strictly implemented in all private educational institutions as well,” he said.
He further urged the government to address other concerns within school programmes.
“The government should not only prohibit obscene dances in the name of school anniversaries, but also ensure that plays and dialogues that incite religious hatred are avoided. Schools should be centres of harmony, not platforms for spreading hatred,” he added.
According to a recent circular issued by the Department of School Education and Literacy, obscene dances are adversely affecting the mental health and moral values of students.
In this regard, schools have been advised to use songs that promote nationalism, positive thinking, the greatness of Kannada culture, and value-based traditions instead of inappropriate content during programmes.
The circular also emphasises that students should be dressed in decent attire.
AIITA also backed the department’s warning that disciplinary action would be taken against head teachers if such guidelines are violated. The association has further demanded that district Deputy Directors of Public Instruction strictly monitor the implementation of these rules.
