₹508 crore being paid to Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel by Mahadev app promoters. “Congress government in Chhattisgarh has not spared any chance to loot you.
They have not even spared the name of ‘Mahadev’," Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on November 2, while addressing an election rally in Durg. Baghel countered Modi over the issue on November 4, as he told reporters that the prime minister should order a closure of the Mahadev app.
"Why was the Mahadev app not closed? It's the Indian government's duty to shut down the app. I want to ask PM, what's your deal?...
If the deal has not happened, then why are you not closing the app? If you are not closing the app, then the deal has happened," he told reporters. Union Minister of State for IT and Electronics Rajeev Chandrasekhara, however, blamed the Baghel-led Chhattisgarh over the delay in the crackdown on the betting platform.
