He claimed that if the Congress comes back to power in Chhattisgarh, the money sent from the Centre for the State's development will be "diverted to Delhi through the 'ATM' of Congress".
Polling for the 90 Assembly seats in Chhattisgarh is scheduled to be held in two phases on November 7 and 17 and votes will be counted on December 3.
Mr. Shah said the people of Chhattisgarh will celebrate Diwali thrice — once on the day of the festival, second when the BJP will be elected to power on December 3 and third when the construction of Ram temple will be completed in January, as Chhattisgarh is the "nanihal" of Lord Ram (the place of Lord Ram's maternal grandparents).
The rally was held in Jagdalpur, the headquarters of Bastar district, ahead of the filing of nominations of the BJP candidates in three constituencies of Bastar.
