I met PM Narendra Modi. This is the silver jubilee year of Chhattisgarh... 1st November is the formation day of the state. This is also the birth centenary of Atal Bihari Vajpayee. So, we have declared this ‘Atal Nirman Diwas’ in Chhattisgarh. I have invited PM Modi to attend the celebrations as the chief guest,” he said.

The Chief Minister also met Union Home Minister Amit Shah and briefed him on the situation related to Left-Wing Extremism in the state. “Yesterday I met Union Ministers Nitin Gadkari and Mansukh Mandaviya as well,” he added.
