Raipur (Chhattisgarh): Union Minister Nityanand Rai on Monday said that Chhattisgarh will witness a "change of power" as under the present state government, farmers are being deceived and women feel unsafe.
"A change will occur here (in Chhattisgarh)...Farmers are being deceived...Women are not safe here and the development is happening just because of the money from the Modi government," Rai said.
Rai arrived in poll-bound Chhattisgarh on Monday morning and was speaking to reporters at Raipur airport.
He further mentioned how the Bharatiya Janata Party has launched schemes like Saubhagya Yojana, Jan Dhan Yojana, Matru Vandana Yojana, and Ujjwala gas connection which have eased the lives of people in the country and have acted as a support to the needy.
The central government is providing Rs 2203 MSP (Minimum Selling Price) for farmers while the Chhattisgarh state government provides only Rs 600, he added.
"CM Bhupesh Baghel is looting farmers. The way in which Central government schemes are being implemented (seeing that), this time the BJP will form government in Chhattisgarh," he said.
On Congress leader Rahul Gandhi also arriving in Chhattisgarh, Rai expressed his views on the Congress leader and said Rahul Gandhi is not concerned about the nation and he often says things that are usually against the country.
