Chhattisgarh Minister Lakhan Lal Dewangan faces backlash over remarks to protesting women



The minister’s remarks, however, offended the women, who accused him of dismissing their plight. They demanded that the government write off the loans fraudulently taken by Floramax, which they allege has cheated them of over Rs 200 crore. “When days of demonstration and hunger strikes failed to yield any resolution, we had no choice but to block the road in Korba,” the protesters asserted.The incident drew sharp criticism from the opposition Congress party. Former Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel, in a post on X (formerly Twitter), condemned Dewangan’s behaviour. “He is Lakhan Lal Dewangan, minister of our state, acting like a ‘Gali ka Goonda’ towards the women. You have so much daring to throw out the women by calling the police? This is the mindset of BJP. We will not let your ‘Gundagardi’ continue,” Baghel remarked.The BJP responded to Baghel’s statement, accusing the Congress of politicising the issue. “If the women were cheated, there will be an inquiry. But during every investigation, the Congress emerges at the back of all those actions that are often questioned by it,” stated Sanjay Shrivastava, the state BJP General Secretary.The women remain resolute, continuing their protests and calling for justice against what they describe as a large-scale fraud that has devastated their lives.
