Raipur: In an apparent clapback to criticism against opening investigation into cases of

regime, chief minister

on Tuesday Newton’s Third Law of Motion saying “Kriya k vipreet pratikriya” (Every action has equal and opposite reaction).

The chief minister had tweeted in the morning, “Badla! Badla! Badla! Bhai kis baat ka badla? Kya kiya tha aap logo ne? (Revenge for what? What have you done?)” He asked in his tweet “Have you committed any crime? If not then you don’t have to worry. It’s all about giving justice and justice will surely be given. Its Badlav-pur.”.

Baghel’s remarks are being seen as a response to the criticism from opposition leaders saying that

is playing

of vendetta by launching a series of investigation targeting senior BJP leaders, including former chief minister Raman Singh.

Raman Singh had earlier said that Congress government is pursuing politics of “Badla-Pur”. Describing the probes as revenge, he had stated that “Badlapur ki rajneeti Chhattisgarh me nahi chalegi” (Politics of revenge will not be tolerated in Chhattisgarh)”.

Taking the

a step further, BJP retorted by quoting Newton’s Law of Gravity saying that chief minister should know that “whatever goes up must come down”.

Reacting to his comment, BJP Chhattisgarh replied to his tweet saying, “Bhupesh Baghel Ji, it is possible to reach the height, but staying at the height is not easy. Newton’s law of gravity states that it is mandatory that whatever goes up falls down to the earth. Wait for it!”

Within a month after coming to power, the Congress government has initiated probes in more than dozen cases including the multi-crore Public Distribution System (PDS) scam in which many politicians and bureaucrats are facing charges of corruption, e-procurement scam, Jheeram Valley scam that had eliminated 29 people including frontline Congress leaders among others.
