Kumari Selja emphasized that the Congress government in Chhattisgarh has fulfilled the hopes of the people, and the party will work together to contest the elections. She also stated that the Congress party will uphold the values of the constitution and not fall for the BJP’s trap, which she characterized as a short-term focus on religion rather than addressing broader issues.

The Congress leaders of Chhattisgarh expressed their commitment to working together to ensure the party’s victory in the upcoming assembly elections. Selja added that it is natural for expectations to be high when a government is formed, and party workers also have expectations from the government. Mallikarjun Kharge guided the party leaders in the meeting and said that constitution is paramount for the country. The Congress party has to uphold Indian constitution and its values. The BJP has nothing but religious issues and they have no agenda other than to trick people into religious issues.
