Meetings With Rahul Gandhi As Congress Moves On To Chhattisgarh Problem

Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel and Health Minister TS Singh Deo will meet with Rahul Gandhi shortly as the infighting threatens to boil over.

Weeks after clamping a lid on a crisis in Punjab, the Congress is firefighting in Chhattisgarh, where Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel's minister TS Singh Deo has laid claim to the top post, demanding rotational chief ministership. Both Bhupesh Baghel and Chhattisgarh Health Minister TS Singh Deo will meet with Rahul Gandhi shortly as the infighting threatens to boil over. No matter how brilliant your mind or strategy, if you're playing a solo game, you'll always lose out to a team.– Reid Hoffman pic.twitter.com/TL5rPwiCDX Mr Baghel's government completed two-and-a-half years in office in June. That is when Mr Deo and his supporters started pressing for change, insisting that rotational chief ministership was the deal when the party took power in December 2018. Mr Deo claims he was promised he would take over as Chief Minister after Mr Baghel's half-term. Sources close to Mr Deo say he will not settle for anything less. If he's not made Chhattisgarh Chief Minister, he will quit the government and maybe even the Congress, said sources. Mr Deo "won't join the BJP" but can't work under Mr Baghel anymore, they added.
