What’s the mood of the people of Rajnandgaon?
There are more rural voters in the constituency. Rural voters are firmly behind the Congress.
What issues did you raise in your last poll campaign speech at Pandariya?
I slammed the BJP over the electoral bonds issue as people are unable to digest the fact that they took hundreds of crores through the scheme from beef producers and gambling companies. The BJP, which talks of Hindutva, bought their flags and banners using such money. They have also extorted businessmen.
I also spoke of good works like cow dung procurement and vermicompost production started by Congress and stopped by the BJP.
How many seats will Congress win in the state?
At least six or seven.
What do you have to say about PM Modi’s recent speeches in Chhattisgarh?
Modiji’s self-belief is shaken and hence he is speaking rubbish about the manifesto. It is clear from his speeches that he has nothing worthwhile to say. He has nothing to offer to the country and only abuses the Congress and the Gandhi-Nehru family.
Deputy CM Vijay Sharma claims you insulted security forces by terming the Kanker encounter as “fake”.
I said complaints of fake encounters were received after BJP government took over. The Kanker encounter took place after I said this. But he took my statement and linked it to the encounter.
