Responding to a question on several BJP workers in Bijapur quitting the party out of fear of Maoists, Singh said, “The situation of Bijapur cannot be compared to that of Ambikapur. My workers function in the most difficult circumstances. In the past two years, 70 workers have been killed, or have been knifed in markets. Don’t look at it with a political lens. Surguja used to be like this before, now it has changed. In the future, we will bring the same changes to Bastar to ensure that a worker can work without fear.”

On June 10, suspected Maoists killed Ramsai Majji, a member of the BJP zila panchayat in Bijapur.
