BJP's Vishnu Deo Sai has been made Chhattisgarh Chief Minister
Raipur:
Chhattisgarh's new Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai, selected after days of the BJP shuffling through many names, belongs to a tribal community. He has been state BJP chief, a Union Minister of State, and a member of the BJP national working committee.
Mr Sai is close to former Chief Minister Raman Singh, who served from 2003 to 2018.
The new Chief Minister's political journey started from the post of a sarpanch.
Mr Sai had been an MLA from 1990 to 1998. He was elected from Raigarh constituency in the 1999 Lok Sabha election.
He became Chhattisgarh BJP chief in 2006, and a Union Minister of State in the centre.
Mr Sai is considered close to the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), the ideological mentor of the BJP.
