Chhattisgarh Congress will stage a protest and office lockdown in Rajnandgaon on October 13, denouncing the BJP government’s decision to end the Half Electricity Bill Scheme.

As part of the nationwide “Srijan Sangathan 2025” initiative launched by the All India Congress Committee (AICC), former minister and Rajnandgaon district in-charge Anila Bhediya led a high-level meeting to restructure mandal and sector committees. Held at Satnam Bhavan, the meeting aimed to energize grassroots workers, induct youth into the party's fold, and expose the BJP's alleged failures at the booth level. Senior Congress leaders and MLAs offered strategic suggestions, and appointments were made to key organizational posts in both urban and rural blocks of the district.

Congress workers in Rajnandgaon launched a scathing protest against the BJP-led Chhattisgarh government and the Enforcement Directorate (ED), accusing them of political vendetta against former Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel and his family. Effigies of the BJP and ED were burnt in a public demonstration at Jaistambh Chowk.

In a fiery assembly of Congress leaders and workers in Rajnandgaon, Chhattisgarh Pradesh Congress Committee (PCC) President Deepak Baij denounced the BJP government for rising crime, corruption, and threats to the Constitution. Ahead of the July 7th “Kisan, Jawan, Samvidhan Jan Sabha” in Raipur, Baij held a strategy meeting to mobilize thousands of party workers from the district to welcome AICC President Mallikarjun Kharge, who is set to address the rally.

In a strongly-worded letter to Congress leadership, former councillor Hemant Ostwal has questioned the silence of five Congress MLAs over a major illicit liquor and counterfeit hologram seizure in Dongargarh, Rajnandgaon. Despite being in the opposition, Congress legislators have remained inactive, prompting Ostwal to demand immediate intervention from PCC Chief Deepak Baij, senior leader Sachin Pilot, and Rahul Gandhi. The scandal, involving a farmhouse allegedly run by Rohit Netam alias Sonu, could expose deep-rooted corruption within the excise department and calls for a thorough EOW investigation.
