The Hasdeo Arand coalfield, spread over 1,878 square kilometre in Korba, Surguja and Surajpur districts in the northern part of the state, comprises 23 coal blocks.

The issue thereafter was discussed with the Congress leadership, and intervention of Congress chief Sonia Gandhi was sought. “The central and state governments should also clarify how it will compensate the tree felling done earlier in Parsa coal block area?

Is BJP planning a comeback in north Chhattisgarh on Hindutva ... (India Today)

The unveiling of late BJP leader Dilip Singh Judeo's statue on November 14 by RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat will bring the focus back on the issue of tribal ...

Judeo’s nephew Ranvijay Singh Judeo was elected to the Rajya Sabha (2014-2020) from Chhattisgarh and is in politics. As per census figures, the Christian population in Chhattisgarh has not increased in terms of percentage. In 2011, the Christian population increased to 490,542 but was still 1.92 per cent. But in 2018, the Congress swept all three seats in the district—Jashpur, Pathalgaon and Kunkuri. In Chhattisgarh’s political circles, Judeo was considered the natural choice for the CM’s post. Judeo passed away in 2013 while trial in the graft case was going on. While the BJP has been alleging that conversions are on the rise in Chhattisgarh, the Congress has denied the claim. In Chhattisgarh, the BJP claims that conversions lead to change in voting patterns. In 1989, Judeo was elected to the Lok Sabha and later to the Rajya Sabha from MP. In Madhya Pradesh, programmes focusing on the tribal people have been attended by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union home minister Amit Shah and several members of the Union cabinet. The statue was commissioned by the Raman Singh-led BJP government in 2013 but got ready only by 2019. [By Rahul Noronha](/author/rahul-noronha): The issue of conversion of tribal people to Christianity is expected to come into sharp focus in Chhattisgarh as the 2023 assembly polls close in, with the ruling Congress and BJP locking horns over it.

Among the quick bites, a lentil and fried rice snack known as bobo is quite well-liked. Perhaps the alcohol gives tribal people a boost of confidence that helps them survive in the jungle. Visiting a haat (weekly market) in Bastar is the finest way to get a taste of Chhattisgarh's authentic culinary secrets. However, there is a conspicuous lack of wheat in tribal kitchens.
