Indications are that BJP vice-president and former chief minister Raman Singh could be fielded from Rajnandgaon.Stung by its humiliating defeat in the last assembly elections, BJP had earlier announced to drop all its 10 out of 11 sitting MPs from Chhattisgarh and to introduce all new faces in an attempt to beat the anti-incumbency factor and to win maximum number of seats from Chhattisgarh.
