Raipur, November 6
Chhattisgarh Chamber of Commerce and Industries, the apex business organisation, will ensure that all its members exercised their franchise in the state assembly elections.
Starting Tuesday, Chhattisgarh will go to the polls in two phases on November 7 and 17. The business community across the state is gearing to come out in large numbers and participate in the festival of democracy.
Chhattisgarh Chamber of Commerce and Industries President Amar Parwani said all the members that numbered 1.2 million (12 lakh) should go to vote in the elections. “For this, we are also running an awareness campaign and hope that all the business family members will definitely go to vote,” he said during an interaction with Union Health Minister Mansukh Mandaviya today.
Mandaviya, who is also BJP’s co-incharge for Chhattisgarh elections, Monday visited the Chamber office and met the office bearers, and members. Parwani and officials briefed Mandaviya about the issues related to the business communities in the state.
The Union Minister said that in the culture and tradition of India, businessmen and rulers had been strengthening the country’s economy and distribution system by sitting together and solving problems. This has been a practice in India since the Chanakya period.
He said that the problems that the Chamber of Commerce officials put before him today were related to GST and the trade industry. He said that suggestions have come from the Chamber regarding development, they had given him everything in writing. “I will try my best to solve your problems,” the Union Minister assured the Chhattisgarh business community.
Chamber’s patron Gan Asudamal ji, Mahendra Dhariwal, Hanuman Prasad Aggarwal, General Secretary Ajay Bhasin, Shankar Bajaj, Jitendra Bhai Doshi, Nilesh Mundra, Vasu Makhija, Shankar Bajaj, Kedar Gupta, Jayanti Patel and others were present on the occasion.
