Chhattisgarh Congress to Boycott Assembly Over ‘Vision 2047’ Debate

Raipur, Chhattisgarh – December 13, 2025: The Chhattisgarh Legislative Assembly faces disruption as the Congress party has announced a boycott of the inaugural day of the upcoming Winter session. Charandas Mahant, Leader of the Opposition, revealed the decision on Friday, citing concerns over the government’s focus on “Vision 2047,” a state-level plan to contribute to the Central government’s economic development goals.

Mahant strongly criticized the proposed discussion, labeling “Vision 2047” as a deceptive document offering only “pipe dreams” with no tangible benefits for the state’s most vulnerable populations. He asserted that the plan fails to address the needs of the poor, farmers, unemployed youth, and those impacted by environmental degradation.

“There will be no question and answer session… only discussion on Vision 2047. … we are completely boycotting the Assembly session on December 14,” said Mahant.

In response, Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai dismissed the boycott as a tactic born of frustration following a series of electoral defeats for the Congress party in the state. The four-day Winter session is scheduled to begin December 14, 2025.
