The Chhattisgarh Assembly election this time will be fought for the State’s pride and self-respect, Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel said on Monday, outlining the Congress’s poll plank.
Mr. Baghel, in a post on X (formerly Twitter), called the election a “war for the pride of the soil” and vowed to build a “new Chhattisgarh”, at a time the Opposition BJP is looking to project the issue of corruption to attain power.
The poll will be held in two phases on November 7 and 17. The counting will take place on December 3.
