Rift in Chhattisgarh Cong: CM Baghel, rival Singh Deo to meet top party leadership
The Hindu
The development suggested that the tussle between the two Congress leaders was intensifying with Assembly elections more than a year away.
Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel and his cabinet colleague and rival T S Singh Deo will meet the Congress high command in New Delhi on July 24, 2022 amid the continuing turf war between the two.
Mr. Baghel is likely to raise with the Congress leadership the issue of his differences with State minister Mr. Singh Deo, who he alleges has given the BJP a handle to attack the party, sources said.
Mr. Deo had recently tendered his resignation as Panchayat Minister, saying no funds were made available to his department and hence no work could be undertaken on the PM Awas Yojna to provide houses to the poor.
Mr. Baghel is in Delhi to participate in the Congress' strategy meet ahead of the Himachal Pradesh assembly elections. He is the chief observer for the assembly polls in Himachal Pradesh slated later this year.
Mr. Singh Deo, who was in Bhopal, too left for Delhi on Saturday and will be seeking a meeting with the top Congress leaders, sources close to him said.
