In Chhattisgarh, the Congress has played a bet before the assembly elections. The party has made health minister TS Singhdeo the deputy CM of the state. CM Bhupesh Baghel has also expressed happiness over this. Baghel said that we are ready. Congratulations and best wishes to Maharaj Saheb for his responsibility as Deputy Chief Minister.
Earlier, Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge and top leader Rahul Gandhi had two meetings with Chhattisgarh leadership in the national capital.
With Kharge now managing the leadership issue in Chhattisgarh, all eyes are on Rajasthan where Sachin Pilot is at loggerheads with Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot. It remains to be seen whether the leadership will adopt the same formula to bring peace in the Rajasthan state unit.
A meeting of Rajasthan leaders is likely to be held in early July. However, it is to be seen how the central leadership manages to convince Gehlot to accept a formula that accommodates Pilot either in the government or organisation. Pilot was removed as Deputy Chief Minister and state president,
We have to take everyone along: Singh Deo
Meanwhile, in Chhattisgarh this step of the Congress is being considered as a big bet before the elections. Senior leader Singhdeo was not happy with the party for a long time.
Soon after the announcement, Singh Deo said: “The Congress party has allowed me to work and the leadership has given me responsibilities. We have to take everyone along. Even in a limited time frame, we have to do all we can, together, for the betterment of the Congress, and for the betterment of Chhattisgarh and its citizens."
Singh Deo loyal leader of Congress: Venugopal
Congress General Secretary KC Venugopal told that Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge has approved the proposal to appoint TS Singh Deo as Deputy CM of Chhattisgarh. Venugopal told that TS Singh Deo is a loyal leader of the Congress and an efficient administrator. The state will greatly benefit from Singh Deo's services as Deputy CM. He said that we are sure that the people of Chhattisgarh will re-elect the Congress under the leadership of Kharge ji and Rahul Gandhi with a huge majority.
Never spoke of an agreement over rotation of CM post: Singh Deo
A day after the Congress's move to appoint T S Singh Deo as the deputy chief minister of Chhattisgarh, Singh Deo said he had never spoken of an 'agreement' over rotation of the chief ministerial post and claimed it was a buzz created by the media.
Singh Deo said, "I never discussed any 2.5 year agreement. It was a buzz in the media. However, I always got positive support from the media."
