Sushmita Dev, president of the All India Mahila Congress, was passing through Mumbai post campaigning for the second phase of the assembly elections in Chhattisgarh. The elections took place yesterday. Dev was at a Bandra East club, where she spoke out, taking swipes at BJP's claims and said the future Govt of India will be one for youth and women.

You were in Chhattisgarh recently…
I visited the adivasi (Bastar) belt, and I think Congress is going to sweep Chhattisgarh - the party looks set to win at least eight seats, might even get up to 11. People are very unhappy with the BJP there. A large number of adivasi women have gone missing through these years; they have been trafficked and cannot be traced. This particular issue has caused greatly disillusioned people with the BJP government.
