He stated that the Chhattisgarh government is a triple-engine government, but only by name.

The Congress leader added that if the central government had bought the entire paddy harvest, a "poor state" like Chhattisgarh would not have had to auction it and suffer a loss of Rs 1000 per quintal.

"The Chhattisgarh government is a triple-engine only in name. It has no say in Delhi. If the central government had bought the entire paddy harvest, a poor state like Chhattisgarh would not have had to auction it and suffer a loss of Rs 1000 per quintal", he told reporters.
