BJP National Vice-President Dr Raman Singh whereas main the dharna at Rajnandaon stated that when time has come for success of guarantees made by the ruling Congress Government in its manifesto, it’s busy discovering lame excuses. This dogmatic strategy of the state authorities shouldn’t be solely hurting the farmers but in addition the folks of Chhattisgarh are feeling harassed. Farmers right now are evaluating the state of affairs between 2 years of Congress rule and 15 years of BJP rule.
