Target to win all 11 Lok Sabha seats
On the question of being elected as CM in view of the Lok Sabha elections, Dr. Raman said that Chhattisgarh will get better results than last time. The government is being formed with the big goal of winning 11 out of 11 seats in the Lok Sabha. Hitting back at Congress over Chhattisgarh Mahtari’s picture not being in BJP’s poster, he said that respect for Chhattisgarh and Mahtari goes beyond the limits of political party, he has a place in the minds of the people of Chhattisgarh.
Congress’s old habit of hiding behind EVM after defeat
On CM Bhupesh Baghel’s statement regarding EVM, former Chief Minister Dr. Raman Singh said that, where Congress wins, there is no irregularities in the elections… where Congress gets defeated, they have doubts and apprehensions. This is his old habit. BJP has no objection, BJP is impartial. We should move forward with new technology. No one has any problem with EVMs. They look for excuses for defeat, BJP never finds reason in victory or defeat.
