New Delhi. BJP has cornered Congress and questioned Rahul Gandhi in the murder case of Chhattisgarh journalist Mukesh Chandrakar. BJP has posted some photos on social media highlighting the Congress connection of murdered contractor Suresh Chandrakar. BJP has written that the closeness of Suresh Chandrakar, the main accused in the murder of journalist Mukesh, with Congress state president Deepak Baij is well known. It was Deepak Baij who awarded Suresh the post of State Secretary of SC Morcha of Congress Party. All kinds of criminal goods are being sold from the so-called Congress shop of love, all the salesmen are criminals. Who is the kingpin? Rahul Gandhi please reply.
“Is he a contractor or a Congressman contract killer!!”
Congressmen are the epitome of disgusting give-and-take politics… just look at your backs and see whether in your haste you have opened your own raw diary!!

BJP also wrote along with it, ‘Is he a contractor or is Congress a contract killer?’ Congressmen, who are the epitome of disgusting give-and-take politics, just look at your backs and see if in your haste you have opened your own dirty slate! In the end, BJP wrote, ‘Congress’s hand is with the criminals.’ Earlier, Congress had targeted BJP through a social media post and wrote that Mukesh Chandrakar had exposed corruption in the streets. After this, the contractor who built the road was angry, the contractor called Mukesh, killed him and got the body dumped in the septic tank of his house. No one is safe in BJP’s jungle raj, law and order has completely collapsed.

Journalist Mukesh Chandrakar used to report for NDTV from Bastar area. He also used to run his own YouTube channel by the name ‘Bastar Junction’. Mukesh played a very important role in the release of CRPF soldiers held hostage by Naxalites after the encounter in Bijapur in 2021.
