Bhupesh Baghel done as the new Chief Minister of Chhattisgarh

Date:

New Delhi: After Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan, Congress has announced Bhupesh Baghel as the Chief Minister of Chhattisgarh on Sunday.

Baghel who led the team that inflicted the BJP’s worst defeat in this set of assembly elections will get the top job in the state.

Though the announcement was made on Sunday, a hint was made its way through when the Congress Chief Rahul Gandhi tweeted a picture with all four state leaders.

Unlike Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh where the Congress fell a shade short of target and had to take the help of Mayawati to reach majority make, in Chhattisgarh got the absolute majority where the BJP was hoping for a fourth term for Raman Singh — one of its most popular Chief Ministers – the party could get only 15 of the state’s 90 seats, way behind 68 of the Congress.

According to reports UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra were also present at the Congress chief’s residence.

Baghel and his counterparts in Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh will take oath as chief ministers in three back-to-back ceremonies on Monday.

Reportedly Rahul Gandhi will attend all the events. Baghel’s oath-taking ceremony has been scheduled at 4:30 pm on Monday, after that of Ashok Gehlot in Rajasthan and Kamal Nath in Madhya Pradesh.
