Chhattisgarh news: 'Modi Ki Guarantee' has been finally approved in the state of Chhattisgarh today (December 21). The government has issued an order to purchase 21 quintals of paddy per acre on Thursday.
Chhattisgarh CM on 'Modi ki guarantee' scheme:
Chhattisgarh CM Vishnu Deo Sai today posted on his social media account X (formerly known as twitter) and said, "Prosperous farmers, happy Chhattisgarh. Our government is determined to fulfill the guarantee given by Prime Minister Respected Shri Narendra Modi ji for the prosperity of the farmers of Chhattisgarh."
"Taking steps in this direction, we have fulfilled our promise to our farmer friends to purchase 21 quintals of paddy per acre. Farmers who have sold paddy earlier will also benefit from this," CM Vishnu Deo Sai added.
Kiran Singh Deo appointed as Chhattisgarh State President:
Meanwhile, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has appointed Kiran Singh Deo as its State President in Chhattisgarh. The party's national general secretary, Arun Singh, issued a notice in this regard.
"Bharatiya Janata Party's National President, JP Nadda, has appointed Kiran Singh Deo as the Chhattisgarh party president. The appointment will come into force with immediate effect," the party said today (December 21).
Deo was pitted against Congress's Jateen Jaiswal from the Jagdalpur assembly constituency, and the former secured victory by a margin of 29,834 votes. Deo kicked off his political career by being a part of the Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha (BJYM).
Jagdalpur is the only unreserved seat in the Bastar region. He is set to replace Arun Sao, who was sworn in as the Deputy Chief Minister. Along with Sao, Vijay Sharma also took the oath as the Deputy CM. Of the 90 assembly constituencies in Chhattisgarh that went to polls last month, the BJP bagged 54 seats, while the Congress's tally was reduced to 35.
