Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel has sparked a fresh controversy by alleging that boxes filled with cash are being transported via CRPF planes. He has called on Election Commission to initiate thorough checks on various vehicles, particularly those belonging to Enforcement Directorate (ED) and CRPF.

dressing reporters, CM Baghel expressed his concerns, stating, "No checks have been conducted on boxes carried on CRPF’s planes. ED is welcome to investigate. I appeal to Election Commission to inspect CRPF vehicles. BJP has accepted defeat, and this seems to be ir last-ditch effort – filling boxes with cash to influence voters. refore, checking every vehicle, especially those of ED and CRPF, is crucial."

"We alrey have multiple CRPF units here, so why need to bring in more? implication is that se boxes are being transported here. It's possible that y contain cash or something else, so a thorough inspection should be carried out," he ded.

बड़ी साजिश❓

निर्वाचन आयोग से अनुरोध है कि जितने भी स्पेशल प्लेन छत्तीसगढ़ में उतर रहे हैं, सबकी जाँच की जाए.

आखिर बक्सों में भरकर क्या आ रहा है?

छापों के नाम पर आ रही ED और CRPF के वाहनों की भी जाँच की जाए.

Taking to his ‘X’ (formerly Twitter), Baghel said, “Big Conspiracy? Election Commission is requested to check all special planes landing in Chhattisgarh. After all, what is packed in boxes of ED and CRPF vehicles coming in name of raids should also be checked. people of state fear that BJP is bringing in huge sums of money after seeing it losing elections."
