His team sees this as the final seal on Chhattisgarh chief ministership speculation
Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel was appointed as senior observer for Congress ahead of the Assembly elections in Uttar Pradesh. Team Baghel believes that this for once and all settles the question of Mr. Baghel’s continuation in the Chief Minister’s chair.
State Health Minister T.S. Singh Deo had staked claim for the CM’s post invoking a promise made in 2018 by then party president Rahul Gandhi agreeing to a rotational tenure between him and Mr. Baghel. As per the arrangement, the Chief Minister’s post was supposed to go to him on June 18, the halfway mark of five-year tenure of the government.
