Bhupesh Baghel’s statement about caste census
In a discussion with the media before leaving for Delhi, National General Secretary Bhupesh Baghel said that ever since Rahul Gandhi has talked about caste census, there has been an atmosphere across the country. He said that it is possible to make major changes at economic, social, educational and political levels. Keeping this subject in mind, Prime Minister Modi and the Government of India decided to conduct caste census, this is the decision of the cabinet. However, this process asks for time and resources, and at present the Government of India is not taking any concrete steps in this direction.

Bhupesh Baghel asked who is running the Chief Minister’s department?
Former Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel has raised questions about the delay in cabinet expansion and the number of limited ministers. He said that the less the ministers, all their departments will go to the Chief Minister. Now it is necessary to know who is running the departments that the Chief Minister has? He said that whether it is mining or education, all the departments are with the Chief Minister, then who is operating them?
What did Bhupesh Baghel say on the incident of misconduct with journalists?
Bhupesh Baghel has reacted sharply to the incident of misbehavior and assault with journalists at Mekahara Hospital. He said that I condemn such an incident with journalists. The government should ensure that such incidents do not happen again in future. Let me tell you that the bouncers posted at Mekahara Hospital along with the media person who went to coverage on Sunday night was shocked and threatened to kill him. There is a lot of anger among media persons about this incident.
Government targeted for Naxalite affected areas
Regarding Naxalism in Dantewada district, the former Chief Minister said that during the tenure of our government there was a huge decrease in the number of Naxalites there. We promoted education there and campaigned to empower the tribals financially. He accused the present Sai government that the present government is not able to buy Tendupatta and MNREGA is also not running smoothly, due to which the economic condition of the tribals is getting weaker.
