“Should the resources we have be ours or Adani’s? Ab ki karna hai: Chhattisgarh ne bachana hai ki Chhattisgarh ne bechwana hai (What is to be done now: save Chhattisgarh or sell Chhattisgarh)?” He added: “There are two paths: one laid out by Rahul Gandhi, who wants to work for the poor; and one laid out by Narendra Modi, who works for Adani.”
Baghel said the previous Raman Singh government in Chhattisgarh and the Centre had handed over many mines to Adani.
“They are running a vilification campaign against me to somehow grab power and hand over the rest of the natural resources to Adani,” he alleged.
Baghel has built up a voluble campaign around Modi’s alleged plan to hand the Nagarnar Steel Plant in Bastar over to Adani.
