CNN Central News & Network-ITDC India Epress/ITDC News Bhopal: Ambikapur, Chhattisgarh: A political controversy has emerged in Chhattisgarh following a reported statement by former Deputy Chief Minister T.S. Singh Deo concerning BJP leader and former Union Minister Smriti Irani. The remarks have drawn attention amid heightened political activity in the state and discussions surrounding the BJP’s organisational strategy.
Smriti Irani, who has recently taken charge as the BJP’s state in-charge for Chhattisgarh, visited Raipur on October 25 for a two-day organisational review. During her visit, she held meetings with senior party leaders, legislators, MPs, district-level office-bearers and former public representatives to assess the party’s functioning and discuss future priorities.
Her visit also included discussions on coordination between the state government and the party organisation. Irani reportedly emphasised discipline among party workers and instructed that only invited members should attend scheduled meetings at the state headquarters. The review comes as the BJP begins preparations for its organisational and electoral priorities ahead of the 2028 Chhattisgarh Assembly elections.
The political exchange involving Singh Deo and Irani adds another dimension to the ongoing contest between the BJP and Congress in Chhattisgarh. Statements by senior leaders from both parties frequently reflect broader disagreements over governance, organisational priorities and political strategy.
However, the exact wording and context of Singh Deo’s statement could not be independently confirmed from the available reports. Further verification of the original statement is necessary before attributing specific allegations or conclusions to the former Deputy Chief Minister.
The development highlights the continuing political engagement between the two major parties as they seek to strengthen their organisational presence and communicate their positions to voters across the state.
