BJP in Chhattisgarh has accused the state's Congress government of blaming its legislators for its failures. The BJP claims that the dropping of eight MLAs from the Congress' first list of candidates for the Assembly polls is an attempt to shift blame. The BJP also alleged that the Congress' decision to release the list on the first day of Navratri is a pretense of being pro-Hindu, while recent events show the party's hatred towards Sanatan Dharma and its followers.
