After the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) recorded resounding victory in the assembly polls in three states, no one was sure that small party workers will be catapulted to top position but very soon, that became a reality. Unknown faces were made chief ministers of three states. No Shivraj Singh Chouhan, no Vasundhara Raje Scindia and no Dr Raman Singh. In the state of Chhattisgarh, Vishnu Deo Sai took oath as the chief minister of the state. In an exclusive interview with India News, the first tribal chief minister of the state disclosed the BJP’s philosophy and its road ahead for the overall development of the state.
Q: You were made the chief minister of the state. What are your reactions over this?
A: The party has given me a big responsibility by making me the chief minister of the state. And this is possible only in the BJP. In BJP, even a small worker is given a big chance to serve public and this context, I am really indebted to the party. As the state is tribal-dominated, I have a big task ahead for the overall development of the region and I hope, I will do justice with the trust that the party has reposed in me.
Q: You are the chief minister of the state. What are your vision for the state?
A: As I belong to a poor family, I can understand the pains of people very well. My father had died when I was a young person and so, I had to shoulder the responsibility of the family. Being the head of the state, I would like to bring development to every person of the state. There would be no discrimination on any basis.
Q: Opposition MPs mimicked Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar during the Winter session of the Parliament. How do you take this?
A: Indiscipline and breach of morality have been the hallmark of some people/parties. They do not care about maintaining the decorum of the house. They are frustrated after their comprehensive rout and thus, their frustration is palpable. The voters of the country understand it. During polls, Congress practices political sanatan but soon, it shows its real colour.
