Seeking to put an end to the leadership tussle in Chhattisgarh, Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge on Wednesday approved a proposal to make Senior Minister T.S. Singh Deo the Deputy Chief Minister.
The announcement comes barely four months before the Assembly election in the State, where Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel is hoping to repeat a second term.
“He is a loyal Congress leader and an able administrator. The State will benefit greatly from his services as Deputy CM. We are confident that the people of Chattisgarh will re-elect the Congress with a thumping majority under the leadership of Khargeji and Rahul Gandhiji,” Congress general secretary K.C. Venugopal tweeted.
