NDTV
On the exit polls, the deputy chief minister said the party will win 60 of the state's 90 Assembly seats.
With almost every exit poll giving the Congress an edge in Chhattisgarh, the state's Deputy Chief Minister, TS Singh Deo, said while the numbers have come as a relief, he believes the party will win 60 of the state's 90 seats.
In an exclusive conversation with NDTV on Thursday, Mr Deo was asked about the possibility of him becoming chief minister if the numbers come down significantly from the 68 the party had won last time. He said all the leaders of the party sat together and decided not to leave any room for speculation.
The senior leader, who had a feud with Bhupesh Baghel over the chief minister's post, also candidly spoke about the problems that the party had faced because of it.
