Raipur: The BJP has strategically chosen Vishnudev Sai as the Chief Minister for Chhattisgarh, making a significant move by appointing a tribal leader to lead the state. This decision puts an end to various speculations regarding the leadership in Chhattisgarh. Vishnudev Sai hails from the Kunkuri assembly in Chhattisgarh, which has a substantial tribal population, and he belongs to the tribal community.
The move to select a tribal leader as the Chief Minister is seen as a bold gamble by the BJP, especially after the state witnessed a non-tribal Chief Minister since Ajit Jogi. Vishnudev Sai, having served as the state president of the BJP in 2020, brings a wealth of political experience to the role. He has previously served as a Member of Parliament and Union Minister, establishing himself as a seasoned leader.
Sai's roots in tribal communities and his close association with the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) make him a notable figure. Additionally, his proximity to leaders like Raman Singh adds to his political standing. Vishnudev Sai represented Raigarh in the Lok Sabha from 1999 to 2014 and served as a minister in the first term of the Modi government at the Center. Notably, he resigned from his organizational post, reflecting his commitment to the party's principles.
This move signifies the BJP's intent to connect with the tribal population in Chhattisgarh and address their concerns through a leader who understands their issues firsthand. As the newly appointed Chief Minister, Vishnudev Sai's leadership will be closely watched, given the political dynamics and the challenges faced by the state.
