Cong, BJP leaders committed on Chhattisgarh formation on Nov 1

This joint statement by four leaders ends all speculations that formation of Chhattisgarh state could be delayed.

Answering questions, the Chief Minister said the Centre has so far not given any funds for constructing the capital of the proposed state.

“All the fund spent for the capital of Chhattisgarh state has been given by Madhya Pradesh Government”, Singh said.

Former CPI (M) MLA, Ram Lakhan Sharma, who was also present said the centre has not given funds for the capital of Chhattisgarh as it was not interested in the formation of the new state.

Asked about the posting of IAS officers in the new state, he said that talks were going on in this regard with the centre and expressed the hope that a final solution would be arrived at before November 1.
