Speaking to the media, he said that the purpose of the camp was to create new energy among the Congress office-bearers by propagating Mahatma Gandhi’s ideas on non-violence, peace, equality, and the abolition of untouchability.
Talking about Chhattisgarh, Baghel said that Maoism was “flourishing” during the BJP rule, but now his government is trying to curb it by reaching out to villagers in Naxal-affected areas.
Baghel said, “We are negotiating with tribal people living in the forests … We are trying to end Maoist activities in Chhattisgarh.”
Emphasis is being laid on making villages self-reliant and establish the gram swarajya model as envisaged by Mahatma Gandhi, he said.
