Rahul's tweet signals end of Chhattisgarh CM battle

December 15, 2018 17:10

So, the matter of the Chhattisgarh CM seems to have been resolved, but we still don't know who wears the crown.

Congress president Rahul Gandhi has just tweeted this picture (image alongside) with the four contenders for the CM's post -- Anurag Singh Deo, Bhupesh Baghel, TS Baba, Charan Das Mahant and Tamradhwaj Sahu -- with the words, "No matter how brilliant your mind or strategy, if youre playing a solo game, youll always lose out to a team."

The Congress swept the polls pulling down the BJP regime of 15 years, bagging 68 seats while BJP was reduced to 15 seats and former chief minister Ajit Jogi-led alliance won 7 seats in the 90-member assembly. After announcing the name of the CM, the high command will also have to pick 12 ministers for the Chhattisgarh cabinet.
