Dr. Charan Das Mahant, the leader of the opposition in the Chhattisgarh Assembly, claimed that our state's Congress leaders are being coerced and intimidated into joining the BJP. Mahant stated that calls are also coming in for former minister Jaisingh Aggarwal.
Mahant, in Raipur, stated that the BJP is attempting to convert all of our district members into MLAs as they have no more problems. Mahant has further described the claims made by the laborer on the platform in front of Bhupesh Baghel in Rajnandgaon as a BJP plot.
Make an attempt to link Bhupesh Baghel to a plot
400 persons were detained and 72 cases were recorded by the former chief minister Bhupesh Baghel, in whose case he is personally involved since 2022. This involves the fabrication of accusations against Bhupesh Baghel. By forcibly adding his name to the FIR, an attempt is being made to harass him. There has been discussion of him in relation to conspiracy.
This is a blatant attempt, according to Mahant, to frighten and intimidate them. Though everyone knows this now, our commander showed bravery in what he did. He said that he would not be appearing in court or requesting bail. We are all fighting alongside him, and I shall fight my own battle.
This type of politics, according to the former Assembly Speaker, has never taken place. These folks never stop phoning our leaders. We are attempting to maintain contact with a large number of MLAs and past MLAs. Even with a strong leader like Jaisingh Aggarwal, he is persevering in his endeavors. They will completely fail, and nobody will fall for their tricks.
These leaders are likewise under strain.
One thing, according to Charan Das Mahant, is not being understood: the BJP is present throughout the state, not just in our area. No one is above the rest, including mayors, presidents, district members, and municipality members. He is under pressure from someone to defect from the Congress and join the BJP.
Fear-based culture in the BJP
I think the BJP is scared that individuals who have been yelling here from sunrise till night that we would win eleven SIMs won't actually win eleven seats. The entire nation is clamoring that the 400 seats that are being discussed is only a pipe dream that will never come true. In reference to the ongoing social media cartoon war, he added that a variety of things occur during elections and that propaganda never stops.
Leader of the Opposition Mahant stated, "BJP is threatening to implicate," putting Bhupesh's name in the FIR under conspiracy. Pressure is also being applied on Jaisingh.
