Korba, November 17, 2008: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi today claimed lawlessness and terrorism has increased during the BJP raj in Chhattisgarh and on development front also the state was lagging behind.
Terrorism, violence and lawlessness have increased in Chhattisgarh but the state BJP government had done little, Gandhi told an election meeting here in Korba district headquarters.
Under the UPA when the entire country was developing, because of the BJP government, Chhattisgarh was not progressing well, he said.
