Ready to discuss my work against PM Modi's work, says CM Bhupesh Baghel

Chhattisgarh Assembly elections: CM Bhupesh Baghel said he is ready to accept Amit Shah's challenge to discuss his work in past five years against Prime Minister Narendra Modi's in the past 15 years

Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel said that he has "accepted" Union Home Minister Amit Shah's challenge to discuss the work done by him in the past five years against Prime Minister Narendra Modi's in the past 15 years.

On X (formerly Twitter), CM Baghel shared a picture of a black sofa, with the names of Amit Shah and Bhupesh Baghel on both sides. He wrote, "You [Amit Shah] have not yet mentioned the stage, date, and time (of the debate), but the public has already prepared the stage. Please announce the date and time."
 

This is the second time that CM Baghel took on Amit Shah over the Union Home Minister's challenge. On Sunday, he wrote on X, "There should be a debate on your scandal of 15 years and our work of five years. Chhattisgarhia is not afraid, will wait for your reply."

During a rally in Chhattisgarh last month, Shah had challenged Baghel in the Pandaria Assembly seat. The Union Home Minister challenged Baghel to debate with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) over the work done by the Chhattisgarh Chief Minister for five years and that of PM Modi in the past 15 years.
