Vishnu Deo Sai, 59-yr-old tribal leader, to be next Chhattisgarh CM

Vishnu Deo Sai, a grassroots leader, has been chosen as the Chief Minister of Chhattisgarh. Known for his gentle demeanour, organisational skills, and tribal roots, Sai's rise to power follows his journey from interning on the political shop floor to earning his stripes on the big stage. With the BJP's massive victory in the state, where the tribal population accounts for over 32% of voters, Sai's appointment reflects the party's strategy to connect with the electorate and counter the aggressive brand of politics practiced by the opposition Congress party.
