The Congress candidate from Raipur lok Sabha constituency, Satyanarayan Sharma, has said that the sitting MP from the Raipur lok Sabha seat, Ramesh Bais, had been elected for the last six terms but no development anywhere has taken place during his tenure.

Ramesh Bais has not discharged his responsibility. The common people had to suffer the ill-effects of his inactivity while addressing party workers at a meeting at Tilha on Saturday.Sharma said that today the common man is vexed for stoppage of trains at Tilha and Bhatapara, but he (Bais) did not take any action in this direction.The State government had given farmers’ land to industries saying that it would do away with the unemployment problem, but the local unemployed could not get any benefits of these industries, Sharma said.

Instead of giving water to the crops of farmers, it has been given to industries. The local people have to suffer the ill-effects of the in-activity of Ramesh Bais, he said.Sharma urged his party workers and the general public to give him five years’ time so that he would prove what is ‘activeness.’ From road to Parliament, every issue would be raised with total seriousness and powerfully, he promised.

In Tilha, Satyanarayan Sharma held an intense public contact programme. Balodabazar MlA Janakram Verma, Vidhan Mishra, Motilal Hinduja, Vidya Bhushan Shukla, Surendra Sharma, Devvrit Nayak, laxmi Narayan Verma, Harsh Vardhan Sharma, Seema Verma, Ramchandra Patel, Jagnu Ram Mantle, Rakesh Sharma, Sanjay Dubey and large number of other Congress leaders and workers were present on the occasion.
