Raipur (Chhattisgarh) [India], February 14: Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai expressed strong confidence on Friday that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) would emerge victorious in the upcoming Municipal Corporation Elections of 2025.
Addressing a press conference, CM Sai reaffirmed the party’s prospects, pointing to the success of BJP in recent Vidhan Sabha bye-elections. He also highlighted the party’s achievements in the past 13 months, claiming that these accomplishments had strengthened people’s faith in the BJP.
“We will win. We had succeeded in the Vidhan Sabha bye-elections too. There have been good developmental works in the last 13 months. People’s faith in the BJP has increased…” said CM Sai.
Taking a swipe at the Congress party, Sai criticized their inconsistent actions and statements, claiming that people had lost trust in the party due to its mismanagement and corruption. “They say something else and do something else,” he remarked.
The polling for Chhattisgarh’s 10 Municipal Corporations, 49 Municipal Councils, and 114 Nagar Panchayats began on Tuesday at 8 am and ended at 5 pm. The counting of votes is scheduled for February 15.
