Though the process of appointing Vishnu Deo Sai as chief minister in Chhattisgarh was smooth as Raman Singh, who was touted by some as a claimant to the post as he had served as CM for 15 years, himself willingly performed the role of announcing Sais name. Vasundhara Raje, who has served as chief minister of Rajasthan twice in the past, met over 45 newly elected BJP MLAs at her residence last Tuesday. These lawmakers expressed their support to her for the CM post even as the party high command is said to be mulling over appointing a new face.
Ajit Singh will be remembered as one of the tallest farmer leaders the country has ever produced and a suave gentleman politician, who was highly educated, approachable, and always willing to help.
