Raipur (Chhattisgarh) [India], August 19 (ANI): Chhattisgarh Deputy Chief Minister Arun Sao alleged that Chhattisgarh Congress MLA Devendra Yadav was not cooperating with the investing agencies prompting his arrest in connection with the June 10 Baloda Bazar case.

Chhattisgarh Police arrested Congress MLA Devendra Yadav on Sunday in connection with the Baloda Bazar case.
He was arrested in connection with the violent clashes and arson at the Baloda Bazar collectorate on June 10. He is accused of inciting the Scheduled Caste Satnami community, during which large-scale violence erupted.
Deputy Chief Minister said that the police have taken action as per the evidence collected from the spot.
"We have seen and felt how the incident happened in Baloda Bazar, the way the car was torched to fire. Police have taken the action as per the evidence collected by the police on the spot," he said.
"Whoever will disturb the peace in Chhattisgarh, the law will take its course of action," the deputy CM said.
"No one is bigger than law in Chhattisgarh" he added.
Arun Sao alleged that Congress' Devendra did not trust the law and he believes he is above the law.
"After the Baloda Bazar incident, the police sent repeated notices to Devendra. He did not want to cooperate with the law and did not trust the law. After yesterday, it was evident that he believes he is above the law, and you do not want to cooperate with the investing agency. what do you want to prove by gathering supporters" said Arun Sao.
Earlier former Chhattisgarh CM Bhupesh Baghel called it "vendetta politics" and demanded a CBI inquiry to it.
Baghel claimed that the arrest was made without proof and was a failure of the state government.
"20 sections have been imposed against Devendra Yadav. It is an incident of June 10 and after 67 days he has been arrested. They have no proof. The arrest has been made with the motive of taking revenge. CBI inquiry should be done. The police & government did not take any action. This is a failure of Vishnu Deo Sai's government...," said former Chhattisgarh CM Bhupesh Baghel.
Meanwhile, another Congress leader TS Singhdeo said that Yadav did not give a speech and was not present on the stage because he is not from the community.
"I got to know about this. As per my knowledge, people of the Satnami community called a public meeting which was attended by a lot of people. MLAs were also invited there, in which Devendra Yadav also came to the meeting. As the event was of the Satnami community, he did not give a speech and was not present on the stage because he is not from the community...Almost 160-200 people have been arrested in this case...The BJP president himself went there with the people of the community to get permission for the meeting. But no action has been taken on him...," said Congress leader TS Singhdeo. (ANI)
