A tribal face and also a political veteran who served as a Union minister, Vishnu Deo Sai emerged as the dark horse of the week-long suspense over the chief minister post of Chhattisgarh.
Chhattisgarh's new Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai, selected after days of the BJP shuffling through many names, belongs to a tribal community. He has been state BJP chief, a Union Minister of State, and a member of the BJP national working committee.
Chhattisgarh Chief Minister-designate Vishnu Deo Sai on Sunday accused the Congress of treating tribals as a vote bank and said his party BJP takes care of their welfare.
