T.S. Singh Deo resigns as Chhattisgarh Panchayati Raj Minister

In a sign of trouble for the ruling Congress and Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel in Chhattisgarh, senior leader T.S. Singh Deo on July 16 quit as the State's Panchayati Raj Minister.

Launching a scathing attack on his own government, Mr. Singh Deo alleged that it had failed to construct 8,00,000 houses meant for rural poor under the Centre's flagship Pradhan Mantri Aawas Yojana (PMAY).

Mr. Singh Deo continues to hold his other portfolios, including the key health ministry, for now, but the latest development is seen as a crucial move in the ongoing leadership tussle between him and Mr. Baghel.
