Criticising the Congress's reported mindset, he said, "Encounter took place under the limits of Chote-Bethiya police station between the jungles of Binagunda and Korenar, in which the security forces eliminated 29 hardened Naxals in a gunfight. Congress leaders raised doubts over the veracity of the action and former CM Bhupesh Baghel was one of them.'
