Baghel playing candy crush on mobile during crucial Congress meet

Raipur: The BJP on Wednesday alleged that Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel was busy playing a game of candy crush on his mobile phone during a Congress meeting over selection of candidates for the upcoming Assembly elections as he knows his party will not retain power in the state.

Reacting to it, Baghel said he will continue to play traditional games of the state as well as 'Candy Crush', which he said is his favourite, and that it is for the people of Chhattisgarh to decide who will stay in power.

The Chhattisgarh Assembly polls will be held in two phases on November 7 and 17 and votes will be counted on December 3.

The Opposition BJP shared a picture in which the Chief Minister is seen playing a game on his mobile phone. The picture is said to be taken during the Congress screening committee meeting which took place at Rajiv Bhavan, the party’s state office, in capital Raipur on Tuesday night.

BJP’s national IT cell head Amit Malviya posted the picture on his X handle and wrote, “Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel is also relaxed as he knows that no matter how much he tries, the government will not come.”

Perhaps, instead of paying attention to the meeting related to Congress candidate selection, he thought it appropriate to play CANDY CRUSH, he added.

Reacting to it, Baghel in a post on X said, “Earlier BJP had objected to why I ride gedi, why do I play bhaura and gilli danda (traditional games of Chhattisgarh) and why Chhattisgarh Olympics are being held in the state?”
