Raipur: Chhattisgarh State Congress Senior Leader and State Health Minister Singh Deo has said that he has no plans to join the BJP and that the party is not politically compatible with him.
Singh Deo is one of the prominent leaders of the ruling Congress party in Chhattisgarh. He belongs to the former royal family and was in the race for the post of chief minister during the 2018 assembly elections. However, Bhupesh Begal was selected as Chief Minister. Singh Deo was made a minister. In order to appease Singh Deo, who was unhappy with Bhupesh Begal as Chief Minister, it was initially reported that the Congress leadership would serve two and a half years each as Chief Minister.
However, the Congress leadership did not announce this openly. As Bhupesh Begal did not agree with this, it was reported that the Congress decided to continue as the Chief Minister himself. This greatly displeased Singh Deo, who dreamed of becoming Chief Minister after two and a half years. Thus, he continues to express his displeasure with the Congress party.
As Chhattisgarh is due for assembly elections this year, there were reports that he will join the BJP before the elections. Singh Deo has put an end to that today. Singh Deo has said that his policy and ideology are not compatible with the BJP’s policy, therefore, he has said that he will never join the BJP.
Responding to the reporter’s question whether there is a possibility of starting his own party, Singh Deo said that there is no possibility and if he wants to start his own party, it will require a lot of money. Singh Deo also said that his next step in politics depends on the future.
