Bihar mandate triggers political crossfire in Chhattisgarh

Raipur, Nov 14 (UNI) The decisive mandate for the NDA in the Bihar Assembly elections has ignited a fresh round of political confrontation in Chhattisgarh, with leaders of Congress and the ruling BJP exchanging sharply worded statements as both parties attempt to shape public perception ahead of upcoming political tests.
Former chief minister Bhupesh Baghel launched one of the day’s most pointed attacks, alleging that the Bihar results were tainted by large scale irregularities. In a post on X, Baghel wrote: “Congratulations to Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar for the Bihar victory. You worked very hard, removed 64 lakh names from the voter list. Of 16 lakh new applicants, 21 lakh names were added. Layer upon layer of manipulation. No better ally for the BJP.”
His remarks prompted a strong rebuttal from the ruling BJP in Chhattisgarh. As NDA workers celebrated the Bihar verdict across the state, Deputy Chief Minister Vijay Sharma countered with criticism, aimed both at the Congress leadership and Baghel’s role as senior observer during the Bihar campaign.
