Just as Atal Behari Vajpayee was the BJP''s face to come to power at the Centre, Raman Singh is the face that the party sees as retaining power in Chh

“I sleep well because no one sleeps hungry in Chhattisgarh”

Where do you see Congress in this contest?

It is sad that a party that had been in power for so long is stealing the programmes launched by us, like the low-cost rice distribution system. It is we who had started the project of distributing rice at Rs three a kilo to below the poverty line recipients. And now the Congress says it would give rice at Rs two a kilo if it comes to power. The skyrocketing price hike presided over by the Centre has broken the back of the people. Communal passion and terror strikes are pan-Indian problems now, but the Congress is unable to rein them in. However, this does not mean we become complacent about a win.

There are allegations of serious embezzlement and corruption against some top ministers in the state.

These are all baseless, politically motivated allegations. Those who have evidence can bring them to me. I shall have them investigated. The Congress has not been able to pin down the government on any issue in these five years.

What do you think is the mood of the public… have you gauged it?

Having toured across the state, I see the people wanting the BJP for a second term. There is no discontent in any section of the people. From pauper to rich men, everyone has appreciated the developmental work of our government. In fact, farmers are overjoyed that in addition to the Central government purchasing rice at support prices, we at the state government level too have purchased rice from them. That is the difference between Congress and BJP: we purchase rice, they buy up MLAs.

What has been the highest achievement during your tenure?

I sleep well now because no one in my state sleeps hungry. We have sold rice to 36 lakh families at just Rs three a kilo. Also, the people trust this government additionally because of our projects like salt at 0.50 paise per kilo and total electrification.

If you are given a second shot, what would be your priorities?

Top of the agenda is to finish off naxalism in Bastar area. The other most crucial areas would be relief for drought areas and higher amount of rice purchase.
