Government should also take decision on financial assistance and jobs – Bhupesh
Former Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel wrote on Facebook that, I still remember the day when the mediation team which freed Cobra battalion soldier Rakeshwar Singh Manhas from the clutches of Naxalites came to meet me at the Chief Minister’s residence in Raipur.
Courageous journalist Mukesh Chandrakar was a key member of that mediation team. I patted him on the back for his courage. What has happened to Mukesh is very unfortunate. Mere condemnation through words cannot solve the harm and insecurity. Nor would I want to make any political comment on this subject.
The government is requested to conduct a prompt investigation, take action against the culprits and set such an example that a message is sent to the criminals. Also, to take care of Mukesh’s family, the government should also take decisions on financial assistance and jobs. Humble tribute from all the people of Chhattisgarh to the courageous journalist Mukesh Chandrakar. May God give courage to his family. Om Shanti:
Bhupesh Baghel surrounded Arun Sau
Bhupesh Baghel posted on He wrote that I had thought that there should be no political rhetoric on Mukesh Chandrakar’s case until justice is provided, but since BJP leaders have stooped beyond limits, I will have to say that to the Deputy Chief Minister of the state, Arun Sao, who also holds the PWD.
Baghel wrote that Arun Sao has become so powerful that when journalist Mukesh Chandrakar exposed his big road scam in PWD, he was killed.
In the same PWD department, when senior Congress MLA Kawasi Lakhma raised the issue of bridge construction in the Assembly during the Code of Conduct, 10 days later, ED was sent to his house. This is the truth and it is also being proved that now it is clear that Arun Sav is corrupt.
