He based his argument on a red diary that he claimed to have proofs of the state government’s acts of omissions and commissions. “The hallmark of corruption in the state is the “Red Diary” in which black deeds of corruption are recorded. The pot of sins of the Congress government is brimming. The public has come to know that this government is a government of loot.”

Quoting him, a party statement said by 2022, 8,000 cases of atrocities on Dalits have been registered. Attacks on Dalits are increasing by the day, youths facing the brunt of the REET and other paper leak cases. .

On the upcoming assembly elections in December this year and Lok Sabha elections in 2024, Nadda sounded confident when he said, “We are sure that BJP will get one-sided blessing of the people and will make a clean sweep in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections as well.”
He asserted, “We claim absolute majority on the strength of the Centre’s public welfare schemes in both the assembly and the Lok Sabha polls due next year.”

Nadda informed that BJP’s welfare schemes were discussed in detail in the state office on Saturday from the point of view of elections and the state will not tolerate the Congress government at all.
