"They (BJP) haven't promised anything to the public of Chhattisgarh. They know that the public of Chhattisgarh is not going to trust their guarantees. Trust is bestowed upon the Congress, the Congress government and its leader Bhupesh Baghel," he said. Earlier in the day, the Chief Minister posted on 'X' that every time he files his nomination he remembers the time when he did so for the first time. "Every time I remember the day when I went to file my nomination for the first time. Today I have left from Bhilai residence to file nomination as a candidate from Patan assembly constituency," he posted on 'X'. "My wife Mukteshwari put tilak on my forehead like before. Your love is my strength," he shared along with some pictures of his wife wishing him luck. "For the self-respect of Chhattisgarh, I promise to always remain dedicated to serving you all," he added. The Chhattisgarh Assembly elections are taking place in two phases. In the first phase, voting for 20 out of the 90 seats is scheduled.
