''Chhattisgarh Witnessed Unprecedented Development Under Raman Singh'' Says Amit Shah

BJP National President Amit Shah on Saturday, October 12 claimed that development in Chhattisgarh increased by five folds under Chief Minister Raman Singh’s rule.

He said, “The power generation capacity of the state was 4 thousand megawatts which have been enhanced to 22 thousand megawatts during the BJP government. There is no statistics of growth in the state that hasn’t witnessed a fivefold growth during the tenure of chief minister Raman Singh.

“I want to tell all that we are winning states after states because of our party workers who are the real owners of our party. BJP started with 10 members in 1950 and is today has 11 crore members. We have the maximum number of MLA’s and MP’s in the country. Our party workers sacrificed their lives in these 50 years of struggle and even today BJP par ty workers are sacrificing their lives in Bengal,” he said.
