Raipur, May 28, 2013

Union minister of state for agriculture and food processing industries Charandas Mahant on Tuesday reiterated that it was political conspiracy that led to killing of Congmen including PCC chief Nandkumar Patel, senior tribal leader Mahendra Karma, former MLA Uday Mudliyar in the naxal attack at Jiram valley in Darbha on May 25, 2013.  

He said the people, who feared that Congress had fair chances of forming government in Chhattisgarh in 2013 assembly polls, had actually connived with Maoists to kill the Congmen.

He pointed that despite Centre giving high security cover to Patel and Karma, the state government neglected their security during Congress   parivartan yatra in Bastar region. “Now, who is responsible for this negligence – chief minister, home minister, DGP, the district Collector or SP?

“Parivartan yatra is a complete political programme. The state Congress has provided yatra’s full detail to the government in advance – from route to rally locations. Still, the naxals attacked Congmen. How it happened? We want answer,” he said.

He further said after the state government conceded its mistake on May 25 incident, the CM should instantly tender resignation and recommend for President’s rule. “Now, Raman Singh has no right to hold CM post as people are insecure under his leadership,” he said.

Asked who could be new PCC chief, Mahant said it was not right time to discuss about such matters as Congress had more important task do like to fulfilling dream of those partymen who lost their lives in naxal attack.
