Political Evolution: Tracing Vishnu Deo Sai's journey from Lok Sabha prominence to his latest role as Chief Minister.
New Delhi, 10 December, 23: In a historic move, Vishnu Deo Sai, a seasoned tribal leader with a political journey dating back to 1990, has been officially announced as Chhattisgarh's new Chief Minister. This decision aligns with the Bharatiya Janata Party's (BJP) strategy to reinforce regional leadership and marks a significant milestone in Sai's illustrious political career.
Who is Vishnu Deo Sai?
Vishnu Deo Sai, a member of the Kanwar tribe, served as a Union minister, Lok Sabha MP, and state president of the BJP from 2020 to 2022. Born in Jashpur, Sai began his political career as a member of the Madhya Pradesh assembly between 1990-98, predating Chhattisgarh's formation.
In a notable feat, Vishnu Deo Sai emerged victorious in four consecutive Lok Sabha elections from the Raigarh constituency, spanning from 1999 to 2014. Despite a hiatus in the 2019 Lok Sabha election, he continued to make his mark in state politics.
His recent triumph in the 2023 Chhattisgarh assembly elections, where he secured a win from the Kunkuri constituency, solidifies his standing as a prominent political figure in the state. Sai's victory in the assembly polls, defeating the sitting Congress MLA UD Minj, further underscores his enduring popularity.
As a testament to his commitment, Vishnu Deo Sai conveyed, "With all honesty, I will work for 'Sabka Vishwas,' and the promises made to the people of Chhattisgarh under 'Modi Ki Guarantee' will be fulfilled. As the CM of the state, we will try to fulfill the promises. The first work will be to give 18 lakh 'Awas' to the people."
BJP's Nomination and Criticism:
Vishnu Deo Sai's nomination as Chhattisgarh's Chief Minister follows a period of suspense and criticism directed at the BJP for delaying the announcement of CM names for Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh, and Rajasthan. The party's decision-making process came under scrutiny, but observers were appointed to finalize the names. Vishnu Deo Sai's name emerged first, bringing clarity to the leadership scenario in Chhattisgarh while anticipation continues for the other two states.
