Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Thursday said that under her party's government, the Bastar region of Chhattisgarh, known earlier for Naxalite violence, has transformed into a brand for arts and other products. 

The Bhupesh Baghel-led government has worked to make people of the state, particularly women, self-reliant, she said, speaking at an event at Jagdalpur. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) did nothing during its 15-year rule in Chhattisgarh except indulging in corruption, looting people and ignoring their pain, she said.

Fear, hunger and corruption prevailed during the BJP rule, she alleged.
