Chattisgarh: Former Chief Minister Chhattisgrah and senior congress leader Bhupesh Baghel on Thursday alleged Bharatiya Janata Party wants to silence the voice of opposition in Chhattisgarh.
Speaking with the media Baghel highlighted the case of senior Congress leader Kawasi Lakhma, who was reportedly targeted by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) following his vocal criticism of corruption.
He also said that Kawasi Lakhma (former Chhattisgarh minister) is a senior leader, he is a six-time MLA.
He has been repeatedly raising his voice against corruption and raising issues in Vidhan Sabha…He raised a question in Vidhan Sabha and ED reached his home eight days later…There are municipal elections and Panchayati Raj elections in Chhattisgarh. That’s why he has been sent to jail.
The leader further added, the same thing happened with Devendra Yadav (Bhilai Nagar MLA in Chhattisgarh). The efforts to silence the choice of opposition in democracy show the dictatorship.
Earlier ED arrested former Chhattisgarh Excise Minister and Congress leader Kawasi Lakhma in an alleged liquor scam. Bhupesh Baghel stated that the probe agency could not even recover a penny from the latter’s house.
