Himanta Sarma accuses Chhattisgarh CM Bhupesh Baghel of promoting religious conversion

Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma criticized Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel, accusing him of promoting religious conversion in the state. Speaking at a public rally in Mahasamund city, Sarma urged the people to vote for the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in the upcoming elections. He emphasized the need for a BJP-led government to ensure the development of Chhattisgarh.

Sarma also targeted Rahul Gandhi, claiming that the Congress leader had never visited the Ram temple in Ayodhya. The Assam Chief Minister's rally took place ahead of the nomination filing by BJP candidates from four constituencies in Mahasamund district.

Sarma expressed concern about the state of Chhattisgarh under the Baghel government, highlighting the alleged religious conversions and attacks on Sanatan Dharma. He questioned the achievements of the Congress in the past five years, pointing out the absence of new universities and significant transformations in the state. Sarma accused Baghel of orchestrating a large-scale religious conversion market to weaken Sanatan Dharma.


Taking a swipe at the Congress, Sarma raised the question of why previous Prime Ministers from the party did not construct the Ram temple in Ayodhya over the past 75 years. He claimed that it was only under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi that the temple was finally built. Sarma criticized the Congress for lacking devotion to Lord Ram and accused its leaders of worshipping Babar.

Furthermore, Sarma highlighted the Congress government's unfulfilled promise of loan waivers for farmers in Chhattisgarh. He criticized the lack of job opportunities in the state, which he believes has led to farmers resorting to loans. Sarma stressed the importance of the government working towards generating employment.

The upcoming Chhattisgarh assembly elections will take place in two phases, on November 7 and 17.
