Speaking to ANI, Bhupesh Baghel said, “Congress is fighting against Adani. This strategy has been adopted to muzzle the Opposition. They are now targeting my son, so that no one can raise their voice against Adani. We will not get scared or bow down. Today, my son has been arrested on his birthday. Last year on my birthday, my advisor was targeted.”

Congress boycotts Chhattisgarh Assembly proceedings

In the wake of Chaitanya’s arrest, all the Congress MLAs, including Bhupesh Baghel, boycotted the Chhattisgarh Assembly proceedings this morning (Friday). Charan Das Mahant, Leader of Opposition in Chhattisgarh Assembly, said, “The ED is exerting pressure to harass the Baghel family and others. They have arrested Chaitanya. We strongly oppose this and are boycotting the proceedings.”

As the Congress MLAs walked out of the Assembly, they raised slogans, including: “Ek pedh Maa ke naam, baki sab Baap ke naam” (One tree in the mother’s name, the rest in the father’s name).

ED probe ongoing

Meanwhile, reports quoted official sources confirming that more searches were being carried out by the ED at Bhupesh Baghel’s residence as part of their ongoing probe into the alleged scam involving his son.
