  • One Out of Five Poll Candidates in Chhattisgarh, India’s Poorest State, a Crorepati

    The state that has topped several poverty indices and has among the most development deficient districts in the country – has candidates who are about to fight in the first phase of Assembly polls with an average net worth of Rs 1.42 crore.

    Of the nearly 190 candidates who are going to contest in the first phase of polls, 42 (or nearly 22%) are crorepatis.One candidate, Devwrat Singh, who is fighting from an Assembly segment in Bastar, is worth around Rs 120 crore. He is fighting from a Janta Congress ticket in Rajnandgaon’s Khairagarh constituency.

    The third richest candidate, among those who have filed nominations for the first phase of polls, is the present Chief Minister, Raman Singh of the BJP, who has declared total assets of over Rs 10 crore. Leading the BJP campaign, Singh is fighting from his traditional Rajnandgaon constituency.

    Mohan Lal Markam who is fighting from a reserved seat in Kondagaon in Bastar region on a Congress ticket is the second richest candidate. He has declared assets of over Rs 11 crore.

    Association for Democratic Reforms (ADR) has analysed assets and liablities of nearly 190 candidates who have filed nominations for 18 seats going to polls on November 12.

    Nearly 40 per cent of the candidates fighting the first phase of Chhattisgarh Assembly polls have assets of over Rs 50 lakh, an analysis done by ADR has found.

    This overwhelming financial strength perhaps puts the aspiring MLAs of Chhattisgarh in stark contrast to the rest of the state’s population — nearly 40% of which lives below poverty line, if one were to measure poverty by the yardstick recommended by the Suresh Tendulkar committee. Were one to go by the recommendations of the committee headed by C Rangarajan, former RBI governor and former chairperson of Prime Minister’s Economic Advisory Council, nearly 50% people in Chhattisgarh are below the poverty line.
    In some areas, like Bijapur, more than 65% population was found to be living under the poverty line.

    Both the Congress and the BJP have fielded 18 candidates in the first phase and both have fielded the same number of crorepati candidates – 13. But the average net worth of Congress nominees is much higher at Rs 2.9 crore, while those of BJP candidates is Rs 2.12 crore.

    The same party which has fielded the richest candidate in the first phase of Chhattisgarh polls – Janta Congress – has also fielded a candidate, one Tankeswar Bhardwaj, from Chitrakoot reserved constituency, whose total assets are worth Rs 1 crore and whose total liabilities exceed Rs 41 crore.

    The Bastar region particularly, all of whose constituencies are going to polls in six days from now, is among the most backward in the country, several surveys, including one done this year by NITI aayog, have found.

  • Editorial :- Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh Aur Chhattisagarh Vidhaan Sabha Chunaavon Mein Bhaajapa Aur Congress Kee Jeet Aur Haar Ke Anek Kaarak Hain…..

    Are embodied opposition party which has come to signify they are in brief: BJP has not only won three times in a row in Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh but their chief Even Shivraj Singh Chauhan and Raman Singh are possible in the past election Expect this to be a loss of some votes in this election.
    Similarly, it has been a tradition in Rajasthan that once the Congress rule is over, the BJP gets victorious for the second time.
    Factors that are being made in opposition to Congress are slightly more. This is the view of some political reviewers that the BJP has won nearly half of the battle in these assembly elections. But elections in democracy are a game of similar prospects to cricket. What is the meaning of the camel, which means that who will play the bets, even at the last moment, can not be said, in the same way it can not be said who will win.
    The main factor in favor of the BJP has it become that Congress has not even recognized leader in the not presented any face voters of their chief in five is so because the Congress Party’s Congress in these provinces . Recently said the former chief minister of Madhya Pradesh, ‘for me is the same thing that I walk away from public functions of the Congress and will cut vote no to run election campaign for Congress in my speech to the party. ”
    Some reviewers also say that Vijayaraje Scindia did not stand in front of Kamal Nath and has forwarded Digvijay Singh. Apart from this, it is also one thing that the discussion of Kamal Nath’s 1984 riots in the riots has also happened in the time when he was made in-charge in the election of the previous Punjab assembly. Later, these allegations were removed from that responsibility by getting more air.
    This is the reason why Congress could not give the face of any Chief Minister in these assembly elections:
    In Rajasthan, Ashok Gehlot has been a valid leader, has been the Chief Minister, in contrast, the personality of Sachin Pilot is not effective in entire Rajasthan. Ashok Gehlot is missing in the election campaign of Rajasthan, like Digvijay Singh is in the Madhya Pradesh elections.
    Even in Chhattisgarh, the Congress has two torns. Even after that there are many factions in the remaining Congress.
    Crack within Congress and allies
    In the three provinces it has not been possible for the Congress to have an electoral alliance with the BSP. Apart from this, take the example of Chhattisgarh, the Communist Party is fighting five seats in Bastar. SP is also contesting with Gondwana party. She could not even come with the Congress.
    The main factor, due to which Rahul Gandhi is claiming that he will be the prime minister of India in 2019 due to the coalition alliance. But for the Congress, it has become a disaster for the Maha coalition to win the assembly in these assembly elections.
    The Modi wave is the last time in BJP’s favor. Rahul Gandhi’s jumpy jump in front of Modi wave will be split like a straw.
    Modi iron just the way I am Vallabhbhai Patel Statue of Unity and Subhash Chandra Bose’s Azad nothing attempt to Congress than it unfurled the tricolor at Red Fort on the foundation day of the Indian National Army.
    The final minutes of PM Modi’s aggressive rallies will also make Fija in favor of the BJP.
    The Congress will have to adopt some effective policies in order to achieve their respectful status in these elections by considering all these facts. Some concrete creative work plans have to be presented before the public in front of the voters.

  • Chhattisgarh suitable destination for investment, says Raman Singh

    Chhattisgarh chief minister Raman Singh on Tuesday said the state has emerged as one of the most suitable destinations for investment and the state is keen to attract non-polluting and sun-rise industries for which the state has formulated sector-specific policies.
    Speaking at the ‘Think Progress, Think Chhattisgarh’ conclave, organised by Chhattisgarh Industries Development Corporation (CSIDC) in association with the Times Group, he said the state, which came into existence just 18 years ago after being carved out of Madhya Pradesh, has made biggest investments in social sector even as the state also focused on infrastructure, industrial and other development. Earlier, Singh inaugurated the newly built trade and convention centre, which has been named after Dr Shayma Prasad Mukherjee. Executives of major industrial groups attended the one day conclave.

    “When we went ahead with investment in the social sector, the perception was that the government is squandering money on populist schemes. Eventually, it turned out that the state has been able to mop up resources for development and also emerged as a state with excellent financial management”, Singh said.

    Apprising the industrialists about the opportunities for investment in Chhattisgarh, chief minister Raman Singh said the state’s priority is to attract investments in information technology, electrical, food processing, solar energy and so on which can also generate employment opportunities in a pollution free environment.

He said state’s GSDP has increased from Rs 30,000 crore to Rs 2.90 lakh crore and state’s budget size increased from Rs 9000 crore to Rs 92,000 crore over the last 18 years. “Chhattisgarh is all set to enter the club of state’s with a budget size of Rs one lakh crore very soon”, he added.

    In the same duration, per capita income of the state has increased from Rs 10,000 to Rs 92,000. Chhattisgarh has maintained the status of revenue surplus for the last 13 years. Reserve Bank of India has lauded Chhattisgarh for its better financial management. Chhattisgarh has the lowest debt in the country. The Chief Minister mentioned that state government has arranged additional resources worth Rs 600 crore through public-private partnership model (PPP-model). Railway Network worth Rs 13,000 crore is to be implemented through PPP model, which has become a model for other states.

    Commerce and Industry Minister Amar Agarwal said that industrial progress and economic growth are the top priorities of the state government saying that Chhattisgarh is a live example of a peaceful industrial environment for industries.
