Chhattisgarh CM Vishnu Deo Sai Criticizes Congress’ Nyay Yatra Led by Sachin Pilot
Raipur (Chhattisgarh), October 2: As the Congress’ Nyay Yatra in Chhattisgarh, led by party leader Sachin Pilot, culminated in Raipur, Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai criticized the initiative. He suggested that instead of a Nyay Yatra, they should conduct a ‘kshama yatra’ (apology rally) for not fulfilling any promises made during the 2018 Assembly elections.
CM Sai stated, “He should take out a ‘kshama yatra’. Of all the promises he made in the 2018 Assembly elections to the people of Chhattisgarh, he could not fulfill even one. That is why people pushed them out in the 2023 Assembly elections. He stalled the development of Chhattisgarh for 5 years and betrayed the people of the state.”
Earlier, Congress leader Sachin Pilot explained that the aim of the Yatra was to wake up the ruling state government, which he claimed had lost its credibility. Pilot said, “It has been 9-10 months since this (BJP) government came to power, but looking at the situation in Chhattisgarh, we have to take out Nyay Yatra to wake up the government. Law and order situation has deteriorated. This government has lost its credibility very quickly. The government is not paying attention to the atrocities on women but is trying its best to suppress the voice of the opposition.”
Pilot further mentioned that the Congress Nyay Yatra received a very good response in Chhattisgarh. “The government is not paying attention to what happened in Baloda Bazar–the increasing Naxalite incidents. Our aim is that through this Nyay Yatra, the government should become alert. This government is running from Delhi; there is no one to run the government from Raipur. There are multiple power centres here. The yatra has a very good response,” he added.
The Congress had started their six-day Nyay Yatra on September 27 in Baloda Bazar. The march aimed to highlight the alleged increasing crime rates in the state and seek justice for the people.
Meanwhile, Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai also participated in the ‘Swachhata Abhiyan’ on the occasion of Gandhi Jayanti. CM Sai said, “It is Gandhi Jayanti today. I bow before the Father of the Nation. It is also the birth anniversary of Lal Bahadur Shastri, we pay respect to him too. Gandhi Jayanti is celebrated as Swachh Bharat Diwas. From 17th September to 2nd October, ‘Swachhta hi Sewa Pakhwara’ was being celebrated and today marks the end of it. We also had a membership drive here.”
