Chhattisgarh Chief Minister's Rival Gets Deputy Role Just Before Polls | Read

Chhattisgarh Congress will put up a united fight and Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel will lead it, his arch rival and the state's new Deputy Chief Minister TS Singh Deo told NDTV today. Mr Singh Deo, who holds the state Health Portfolio, has been elevated as Chhattisgarh's Deputy Chief Minister, the first since the state was formed in 2000. The move has been seen as the Congress leadership's attempt to ensure that the bitter rivalry between the Singh Deo and Baghel camps does not tank its prospects in state polls due later this year.
