Bhupesh Baghel likely to be Chhattisgarh CM

After selecting chief ministers of Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh, Congress president Rahul Gandhi again held hectic parleys with top party leaders to decide on the top post for Chhattisgarh. PTI sources say that the process of consultation on who will be the next chief minister of Chhattisgarh was marked by flip-flop throughout the day and the official announcement in this regard is expected to happen today.

Gandhi held several rounds of discussion since Saturday morning with the four aspirants for the post--T S Singh Deo, Tamradhwaj Sahu, Bhupesh Baghel and Charan Das Mahant--at his Tughlaq Lane residence in New Delhi.
