Notes on recently concluded BJP conclave

Chhattisgarh full of surprises

Politics was not the only thing discussed during the 3-day BJP conclave held at Lucknow recently. Brijmohan Agrawal, Tourism Minister, Government of Chhatisgarh, came armed with CDs and brochures to showcase the tourism potential of this highly neglected state so far. No doubt, Agrawal has left no stone unturned to harness this State’s potential to invite tourists from the rest of the country.
From going on a wonderful experience of discovering ‘one of the last frontiers of tribal India – Bastar’ that is bestowed with a great deal of natural bounties besides possessing marvels like Battisha Temple, Bhorum Dev’s Temple, Mandir Tala, Kanker Palace and Twin Ganesh at Barsur, places of Buddhist importance like Bodha Vihar at Sirpur, the State has a rich potential in flora and fauna. The state also has several other places of religious importance for the Hindus like at Malhar, Pali, Chitrakoot, Tirathgarh, Dongergarh, Ratanpur and Kabir Chabutra. The Rajim Kumbha was held in this state between 13th to 26th February, 2006.The presentation made by Brijmohan Agrawal on this occasion was worth witnessing as the Minister presented the bouquet of tourist destinations in front of the media persons from Lucknow. If Agrawal has his way, Chhatisgarh with its largely unexplored and virgin tourist attractions, would go on to become much-visited destination for the tourists.
