On this, Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel said the BJP lies continuously. “If you tell a lie a hundred times, it becomes true, it is believed and the BJP has adopted the same policy. The central government buys paddy, but from Haryana, Punjab, here the whole system is of the state government. Whether the central government buys rice or not, the state government will buy paddy from the farmers. The central government only gives 5 kg rice to a family, but we give 35 kg rice,” the Chief Minister said.
BJP’s national president JP Nadda called the Congress a party of nepotism. On this, the Chief Minister countered and said the state from which Nadda comes, Anurag Thakur’s father was a minister, Rajnath Singh’s son is an MLA, Amit Shah’s son is also in office. He should think about his party before pointing finger.
