New Delhi:
Chhattisgarh woke Tuesday to the first phase of the 2023 Assembly election and a tongue-in-cheek X post by Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel – under fire over corruption allegations linked to the Mahadev betting app row – accepting Amit Shah’s invitation to a debate on his government’s achievements, inviting the Union Home Minister to name the date, time and place.
“Home Minister Shri Amit Shah! I have accepted your challenge by going to the same Pandaria Assembly (seat) where you had challenged me to debate on the work (done by my government). You have not yet told the stage, date and time… but the public has prepared the stage,” Mr Baghel said late last night.
“Please tell me the date and time…” the Congress leader wrote.
There was a photograph of a two-seater black sofa – with placards bearing the two leaders’ names.
