"Don't play politics over the Naxalite issue": Bhupesh Baghel challenges Amit Shah on Naxal allegations in Lok Sabha
Mar 30, 2026
In a post on X, Baghel said, "What Union Home Minister Amit Shah said in the Lok Sabha while speaking on the Naxalite issue is an outright lie. During the five years our government was in power, meetings were held with the Chief Ministers of Naxal-affected states... But in none of these meetings did the central government ever raise the objection that any state was shielding Naxalites." He further challenged Shah, saying, "I challenge Amit Shah ji to publicly produce any evidence... If no objection was raised then, why are you saying all this today? Don't play politics over the Naxalite issue."
