Minister of Youth Affairs and Sports of India, Anurag Thakur attacked the current Chief Minister of Chattisgarh Bhupesh Bhagel by saying that he (Bhagel) has been roaming by covering his face after Mahadev betting scam.
The minister said, “Bahut hua satte ka khel, bye bye Bhupesh Baghel.” And further added, for five years, the Chief Minister’s Office had been giving protection to “sattebaji” (betting) as Bhu-Pay was going on.
“I have come here to tell about the ‘jhoothe’ (false) and ‘adhure’ (uncompleted) promises of Congress which it had made in 2018. Every government has to present its report card to the people after five years,but Bhupesh (Baghel) has been trying to run away from keeping its report card as well as from investigation into alleged scam. Run Bhupesh run. How much will you run?” When asked about Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra’s statement on killings of children in bombings in Gaza, Thakur said, “I feel some people support terrorism. Congress is greedy to remain in power. In the country as well as the state, their wrong policies have led to the deaths of thousands of people (in terror incidents).”
Referring to former prime minister Manmohan Singh, he said, “Congress always had a soft approach towards terrorism. Whenever blasts took place in different parts of the country, Mauni Baba remained silent as the remote control was in the hands of someone else.”
He added, “After the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks, on whose direction the then chief minister (Vilasrao Deshmukh of Maharashtra) brought a film director to the site (of attack). No retaliatory action was taken (after the 26/11 attacks). They (Congress government) used to beg before the world to save the country from terrorists and intrusion. But now there is a government led by PM Narendra Modi which conducts surgical strikes, and those who spread terrorism beg before the world to save them.” “We have clearly said that India is against terrorism. Modi ji has pointed against terrorism and black money in all big international meetings from 2014 to 2023 and the world has accepted his points.”
