The opposition Congress on Tuesday staged protests across Chhattisgarh, accusing the BJP government of colluding in arson and violence during a recent Satnami community demonstration in Balodabazar.

Congress leaders, including former Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel, led protests in multiple locations, demanding Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai's resignation. They alleged the BJP facilitated the violent protest.
