The political scenario in Chhattisgarh took a confrontational turn as the Congress organized a two-hour economic blockade across the state to voice their opposition to the Enforcement Directorate’s detention of Chaitanya Baghel, the son of former CM Bhupesh Baghel. State Finance Minister OP Choudhary accused Congress of double standards related to decisions taken during Baghel’s tenure. The protest aimed to block goods movement, drawing criticism and accusations of family-centered politics from the BJP. While emergency services were exempt, the business community distanced itself from the agitation. BJP MLA Chandrakar questioned Congress’s motives, highlighting perceived inconsistencies and selective outrage. Amidst allegations of Agency misuse, Chaitanya Baghel’s arrest has deepened the existing political rift in Chhattisgarh.
