Goa Chief Minister Pramod Sawant during a public meeting in Chhattisgarh’s Rajnandgaon on September 16 made a sharp attack on Congress. Addressing the public, he said that Raman Singh was taking the state towards making it safe for youth, farmers and women but for five years in the middle people thought of consuming chilli (Congress). He further termed Congress as ‘corruption’. “I remember former PM Atal Bihari Vajpayee today. While forming this state, he had thought that Chhattisgarh would be a cultural state and that the state would be safe for youth, farmers and women. Raman Singh was taking the state towards that direction. But for five years in the middle, you thought of consuming chilli as you were only consuming sweets. You tasted chilli once, do you want to have it again? You saw the Congress Govt once, do you want to see it again?” said Pramod Sawant. He further said, “Congress means corruption…After coming here I came to know that cow dung scam also takes place. Lalu Yadav was behind bars for years in connection with fodder scam...It is time now...I think he (Bhupesh Baghel) too will definitely go to jail in connection with this scam."
