Chhattisgarh government counters allegations, says CG Housing Board had no role in the demolition incident
Raipur: Chhattisgarh Finance Minister O P Choudhary has denied allegations linking the Chhattisgarh Housing Board to the recent demolition incident in Nakti village, stating that the Board had no role to play in the matter.
Responding to political accusations, the Minister clarified that the incident should not be connected with the CG Housing Board without facts. He said attempts were being made to create confusion among people by presenting misleading claims.
The clarification comes amid criticism over the demolition action in Nakti, where opposition leaders had questioned the government over the removal of houses and alleged displacement of poor families.
According to the Minister, the Housing Board was neither involved in the decision-making process nor responsible for carrying out the demolition. He maintained that the facts must be verified before making public allegations.
The statement is being seen as an effort by the government to counter the opposition narrative and separate the Housing Board from the controversy.
