CG lost No 1 slot due to BJP’s bad governance: Cong

Raipur, December 07, 2012

Congress on Friday said Chhattisgarh lost its number one position in eight different sectors due to bad governance of BJP government. 

“The BJP should have improved and strengthened the state’s radical structure in nine years but it did the vice versa. Chhattisgarh’s reputation is of the corrupt state in global arena. Therefore, major industrial houses across the world stayed off state’s recent investors’ meet,” said PCC president Nandkumar Patel and CLP leader Ravindra Choubey on the occasion of BJP’s nine years in power.

“The state is progressing on in terms of corruption, crime, Maoism, red-tapism and directionless development. The global organisations, which keep constant eye on corruption worldwide, too put Chhattisgarh on top in graft cases in their surveys,” they said.

Pointing towards survey reports conducted by two different organisations that has lowered Chhattisgarh’s rank, the duo advised the government to stop making its false publicity and concentrate in effective developmental factors. 

According to survey reports provided by the duo, the eight sectors in which the state has lost its number position are – primary health (now 20^th), environment (now 11^th), micro-economy (now 11^th), agriculture (now 18^th), consumer market (now 17^th), primary education (now 17^th), infrastructure (now 19^th) and governance (now 12^th). 

They said only the Central schemes like MNREGA, Prime Minister Gram Sadak Yojna, National Rural Health Mission, etc bring some relief and ray of hope to the people of Chhattisgarh as otherwise the BJP government had nothing to boast about its achievements.
