Summary:
Raipur, Sep 24 (PTI) The tussle for power between Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel and health minister TS Singh Deo appears to have quietened at the top, but the feud is very much visible at the lower level in the ruling Congress.
The recent change in leadership in Congress-ruled Punjab has added to the uncertainty, political observers here believe.
On Thursday, a local unit of the Congress in Bilaspur demanded expulsion of a party MLA after he protested against the registration of a police case against another local leader, a supporter of Singh Deo.
The demand of change of guard reared its head after Baghel completed two and a half years as chief minister in June 2021.
The Singh Deo camp claimed that the high command in 2018 had agreed to hand over the post to him after the government completed half its term.
Congress in-charge of the state P L Punia has time and again denied that any such deal was struck in 2018 when the party came to power by dislodging the BJP.
