Chhattisgarh CM Bhupesh Baghel meets PM Modi, seeks census

Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel met Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Delhi to push for a census. After meeting on Friday, Baghel said there is a problem in the selection of beneficiaries for various schemes because no census was conducted after 2011. Many eligible beneficiaries are being deprived of the benefits of the schemes, Baghel said, calling for conducting the census as soon as possible. Baghel also discussed various pending demands, including GST compensation and coal royalties. Baghel presented a figurine of Chhattisgarh's state animal -- the Indian wild buffalo -- to the prime minister.
