This comes days after Congress appointed TS Singh Deo as Chhattisgarh's Deputy CM. While the opposition BJP took a jibe at Congress for not trusting its CM, Deo said that party will contest elections on the face of CM Bhupesh Baghel only.

Former Chhattisgarh CM Raman Singh on Thursday took a dig at the Congress, saying that the party had lost faith in its Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel due to his "corrupt governance". He referred to the Congress's decision to fight the upcoming Chhattisgarh Assembly election under collective leadership.

The decision to appoint Deo as the deputy CM was reached just a few months ahead of state Assembly elections due this year-end, but Deo said the responsibility given even for a day is crucial. "Our priority will be to work together for the development of the state. I will fulfill the responsibilities given to me," he said.

Referring to this, BJP leader Raman Singh said: "Yesterday a big decision was taken by Congress, in which Bhupesh Baghel's face was removed from the Chief Ministerial post. It was announced that the Congress would contest the elections with collective leadership." "The slogan 'Bhupesh pe bharosa hai [We have faith in Bhupesh]' has now changed to 'Bhupesh hai toh bhrashtachar hai [Bhupesh makes corruption possible]'. Now that they are talking about collective leadership, it is certain that the Congress Central leadership has lost faith in Bhupesh Baghel," he added.
