Our Policy of Zero Tolerance Against All Forms of Crime and Terrorism, Including Naxalism

January 01, 2025

When Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai's government took power in Chhattisgarh a year ago, it aimed for the welfare of Antyodaya (uplifting the poorest).

Our Policy of Zero Tolerance Against All Forms of Crime and Terrorism, Including Naxalism

At the time, the state was grappling with high discontent due to the Congress PSC scam, corruption in government schemes, and a deteriorating law and order situation. Within a year, Chief Minister Sai's leadership not only addressed these pressing issues but also regained the confidence of the public. Programmes like the Niyad Nellanar initiative have become a powerful tool against Naxalism, while Mahtari Vandan Yojana has brought joy to 70 lakh women. Under Vishnu Deo Sai's leadership, the government is committed to the welfare and development of all sections of society, especially the poor, youth, breadwinners, and women. Excerpts from an interview with the Chief Minister regarding future plans and policies:We have also fulfilled our commitment regarding the Chhattisgarh Public Service Commission recruitment scam. The Economic Offences Investigation Bureau has launched an investigation, and the CBI is now handling the case. Strict action will be taken against anyone found guilty.

It's been a year since your government came to power, and many of your government's programmes have become role models across the country. What do you think is the reason for this success?
