He also extended his greetings to the people of the state on the occasion of Diwali.
The state will undergo second phase of polling on November 17 for 70 seats after voting took place for 20 constituencies on November 7.
On Saturday, Baghel alleged that the Bharatiya Janata Party-led Union government is trying to control states ruled by other parties through the Raj Bhawan (governor), which is not in the interest of the country and its democracy.
He made this statement answering a query on the row between Punjab Governor Banwarilal Purohit and the Bhagwant Mann government over delay in giving assent to some bills passed in the Assembly in the northern state.
"The Chief Justice of India has made a very serious comment (on the Punjab issue). Raj Bhawan has been trying to misuse its powers. Be it Punjab or Tamil Nadu, or even in Chhattisgarh, a dozen bills are stuck at Raj Bhawan," Baghel told reporters in Raipur.
