The Monsoon Session of the Chhattisgarh Assembly, beginning on Monday, is likely to be stormy with the Opposition Congress gearing up to target the Raman Singh government for its alleged failure to tackle growing Maoist menace in the state.
The Congress Legislature Party (CLP), which met here on Sunday, decided to corner the BJP government on the floor of the House, highlighting “its misrule, which helped growth of Maoist menace in the state”. The CLP meet also alleged that the ineffective governance in the state has also emboldened the ultras to unleash reign of terror in their strong-holds.
