Chief Minister Shri Vishnu Deo Sai today described the Supreme Court’s ruling that reservation benefits cannot be granted on religious grounds as significant. Responding to a question during a media interaction in Raigarh, he said that the ruling has far-reaching significance and would certainly help curb illegal religious conversions.

The Chief Minister said that the Kolta community is educated, organised and progressive. Its members contribute significantly to education, agriculture, trade, and other fields. The community is also playing an important role in building a developed Chhattisgarh.
To further strengthen the community’s activities, Chief Minister Shri Sai announced Rs. 50 lakh for a Kolta community building in Pusaur Nagar Panchayat and Rs. 30 lakh for a community building in Chandi Dongri, Kotarlia village.
During the media interaction, the Chief Minister also expressed happiness over Chhattisgarh hosting international women’s cricket for the first time.
