"Changing candidates won't help Congress": BJP attacks Congress ahead of Chhattisgarh polls

Speaking to ANI on Wednesday, Bhawna Bohra said, "The voters know who is working for development with good intentions. People in every community are aware of who can keep everyone together and move ahead. Everyone is educated and aware. They know who is working for the farmers. In Congress, only the faces of the candidates have changed, but the reeti-neeti (policies) of the Congress are still the same. Changing the candidates is not going to make much of a difference."

BJP's candidate from Pandariya, Bhawna Bohra, earlier said her party was on course to return to power in the state with a clear and comfortable majority.

Bohra, is contesting the Pandariya assembly constituency in Kabirdham district, says she would strive for the empowerment of women and take up other issues if elected.

The BJP candidate added that her vision is to make the Pandariya constituency top among all 90 Assembly segments in the state.

She said if elected, she would put in the hard work to make her constituency stand out in terms of women's empowerment, education, and healthcare facilities.

Bohra, who has also been involved with social service since 2015, said during her campaign vigils she had sensed that a lot of work needs to be done in the healthcare sector.

Chhattisgarh is scheduled to hold assembly polls in two phases, on November 7 and 17. The counting of votes will take place on December 3, along with those in four other poll-bound states.

The Model Code of Conduct came into effect in the state with the announcement of poll dates. In the 2018 assembly polls, the Congress recorded a landslide victory, winning 68 of the 90 seats, while the BJP had to settle for just 15 seats. (ANI)
