NEW DELHI: Amid chaotic discussions in the Congress for the top post in Chhattisgarh, party president Rahul Gandhi will hold consideration at his residence post which the names of the chief ministers would be declared today. Worth mention here the flight of Air India in which the three CM contenders  Bhupesh Baghel, TS Singh Deo and Charan Das Mahant were going to national capital Delhi, was diverted to Nagpur due to flight fog.

It is only up to the party president Rahul Gandhi's choice of chief ministers of the state and ABP News sources said that T S Singhdeo is expected to be the next CM of the state. Singhdeo was the main planner of the Congress party's poll manifesto, which he claimed was made after feedback from about 80,000 people from across the state.

This manifesto especially promises farmers, that many believe became a game-changer in the party's bid to get out a populist chief minister.

Contradict to predictions of exit polls, the Congress won credibly in Chattisgarh where T S Singhdeo was given the job of mobilizing backward community voters who had mainly favored the BJP in the last 2013 polls. In Chattisgarh, the other hopefuls for the CM post are Lok Sabha member Tamradhwaj Sahu, who won the Durg Rural seat, state party chief Bhupesh Baghel, but Sahu's non-controversial and clean image goes in his favor, some party leaders stated.
