"Hail Baba Guru Ghasidas Satnami Samaj's Guru Shri Baldas ji is welcome in @BJP4CGState, the dark chapter of Congress misrule will now end with the company of saints, guidance of gentlemen and energy of youth. The amount of neglect this government has done to Baba Ghasidas ji will be fully accounted for," read a rough translation of his tweet in Hindi.
