Bhupesh Baghel

After former Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel alleged that the numbers of many Electronic Voting Machines in his constituency, Rajnandgaon, have changed, the Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) of the state clarified in a series of posts on 'X' that the "mismatch" in EVMs number shared with Baghel is not based on facts.

Congress party has a history of genuflecting before the Naxalites to whitewash their crimes. Desperate after defeat in the last state assembly elections, Congress is sympathising with even Naxal terrorists to garner some votes.

According to the ED, the projected proceeds of crime in Mahadev Betting app scam are about Rs 6,000 crore.

The promoters of the Mahadev Betting App gave about Rs 508 crore to Bhupesh Baghel as per the new supplementary chargesheet filed by the ED

Anurag Thakur stated that Lord Mahadev cursed Congress and hence the party's ship sunk in assembly polls.

In Chhattisgarh, Bhupesh Baghel faces charges of diverting scam proceeds from govt to the upper echelons of the Congress leadership, purportedly aiding their deployment in election campaigns across other states.

"After the Mahadev app scam, Chhattisgarh CM is hiding his face. If the people involved in Delhi's liquor policy scam were not able to escape, here too, no one would be able to escape. 'Paisa Kamao...Bhupay karo' this continued for 5 years.

"The Chief Minister's close aides are behind bars. These mathematicians of Congress will have to tell how much share the CM has received in this," PM Modi said.
