Union home minister Amit Shah on Thursday lashed out at the previous Bhupesh Baghel-led Congress dispensation in Chhattisgarh, calling it a ‘worthless government’.
Addressing the ‘Vijay Sankalp Shankhnad’ rally in Chhattigarh's Janjgir, Shah said,"The Congress government was a worthless government that never worked to end Naxalism, never worked to give justice to the people of Chhattisgarh but got involved in scams worth rupees lakhs of crores and inflicted injustice upon them." He thanked the voters of the state for electing a BJP government, thereby appealing to them to make saffron party candidates the winners in the Lok Sabha elections.
“The upcoming election is going to determine the future of our nation. This election is going to be a significant one to make Bharat a fully developed nation and Bharatmata the Vishwaguru," the minister said.

‘Modi gave respect to Dalits, tribals and backward classes’: Shah
{{/usCountry}}Hailing Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Shah appealed to the people to elect him for third time to make India the third largest economy in the world. “Modi Ji has given respect to the tribes, Dalits and backward classes. After 75 years, a poor tribal lady Droupadi Murmu has become the President of India. For the first time ever, the OBCs have been given constitutional recognition,” he said.
“They have been given a 27% reservation and the OBC Commission has been formed and implemented the welfare schemes for the Dalits, poor and the tribes,” Shah added.
