Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP Tejashwi Surya on Wednesday accused the Congress government in Chhattisgarh of indulging in corruption and allowing “mafia raj” to flourish in the state.
Surya, who is also the national president of BJP’s youth wing, Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha (BJYM), arrived here earlier in the day to take part in a mega-protest to gherao the official residence of Chief Minister Bhupesh Behgel.
Talking to reporters at the Swami Vivekananda airport in Raipur, he claimed that the days were numbered in the top post of Chief Minister Baghel and the youth of Chhattisgarh had resolved to overthrow his government in the assembly elections to be held next year.
BJYM is going to hold the biggest protest in the history of Chhattisgarh against the corruption-ridden Bhupesh Baghel government. He alleged that there is ‘mafia raj’ in every department of this government.
He claimed that unemployment, corruption and crimes against every section, including women, are on the rise in the Congress government. Hence, lakhs of youths and national functionaries of Yuva Morcha from across the state have gathered here to stage a massive protest against this “insensitive” government, Surya said.
“I want to categorically warn Bhupesh ji that his (as chief minister) time is over and he should pack his bags and leave (CM’s) house. He claimed that the youth of the state had resolved to overthrow his government. From the airport, Surya left for the state BJP office Kushabhau Thackeray premises.
Later, he will go to the protest site in front of Raipur Municipal Corporation office along with senior BJP leaders including party’s state in-charge D Purandeshwari, party’s state president Arun Sao and former chief minister Raman Singh, a BJP leader said here.
In view of the protest, the Raipur Police has deployed a large number of security personnel on the roads leading to the capital and the chief minister’s house. The police have kept empty containers at some places to stop the protesters.
