Chhattisgarh Minister Alleges BJP Removed State Emblem from Festival Poster
Chhattisgarh Minister Charan Das Mahant alleged that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) deliberately removed the image of 'Chhattisgarh Mahtari' (Mother Chhattisgarh), the state's personification, from a poster for the Hareli festival. Mahant stated this was a "well-thought-out strategy" by the BJP. The controversy arose when the state's cultural department released a poster for the Hareli festival, which is celebrated on July 17, featuring various cultural elements but notably omitting the figure of Chhattisgarh Mahtari.
