BJP President Amit Shah Saturday said the Raman Singh government in Chhattisgarh had made the state "almost free" of Naxalism and developed it as a hub of power and cement production. Shah was releasing his party's manifesto ahead of the first phase of polling on November 12. “Chhattisgarh was the first state to have a legislation on skill development,” he said while addressing media in Chhattisgarh's Raipur. The 90-member Chhattisgarh Assembly will go to the polls in two phases -- on November 12 and 20 -- and the results will be announced on December 11.
