"Vishnu Deo Sai's Rise in Chhattisgarh Politics: A Masterstroke by Modi?"

The BJP has selected Vishnu Deo Sai, a former Union Minister and tribal leader, as the next Chief Minister of Chhattisgarh, a move that could prove to be a masterstroke for the party in the state and upcoming Lok Sabha elections. Sai's popularity in the tribal region and his command within the organization, coupled with his influential background from the Sahu community, could help the BJP secure support from the tribal community and neighboring areas with sizable tribal populations. The appointment of Arun Sao and Vijay Sharma as Deputy Chief Ministers and Raman Singh as the speaker of the assembly further strengthens the party's position by keeping OBC, Brahmin, and Rajput voters satisfied.
