In a press conference on Monday, Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel said, “The whole country is agitated by the incident that happened in Lakhimpur yesterday. The incident that happened was seen by all the people through the media to see how the farmers were being vandalized. Bullets were fired. Cars were burnt and vehicles were boarded. In fact, the Bharatiya Janata Party is doing these politics only after taking inspiration from the British.”

“They can go to any extent to suppress the farmers of the whole country, the example of this is the incident in Lakhimpur. Our demand is that the Minister of State for Home should be sacked first and the minister who went with him should also be sacked. Those who try to crush the agitating people should be arrested. Because this is not an ordinary incident. Rather it is clearly a case of murder and action should be taken by registering an offense under that section.”
