In a fierce political exchange, former Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel has launched a scathing attack on BJP President JP Nadda. Baghel accused Nadda of insulting the martyrdom of Congress leaders killed in the 2013 Jhiram Ghati Naxal attack with his recent remarks.

Addressing an event, Nadda had alleged that insiders from the Congress were involved in facilitating the Naxal attack. Baghel, in response, demanded that Nadda provide proof of his claims and questioned why the BJP obstructed investigations when Congress was in power from 2018 to 2023.
