Addressing a rally in Chhattisgarh's Raigarh, PM Narendra Modi said that the people of the state must think about the first two decisions taken by the Congress government.  "The first thing they did was to remove Chhattisgarh from Aayushman Bharat and second decision was to not let the CBI enter the state, Why? What are you afraid of?" he said.
