Earlier Vishnu Deo Sai, who won the Kumkuri seat of the tribal (Janjati/Vanvasi) dominated northern region of the state was elected as the leader of the BJP legislative group in Chhattisgarh assembly on Sunday. The development occurred after all the newly elected 54 BJPs MLA chose Sai as the leader leaving behind others name being speculated by the media.
Hailing from the tribal dominated Jashpur region of Chhattisgarh, Sai is set to become the first Vanvasi Chief Minister of the state, where the Vanvasi community constitute a significant majority. It is to be noted that the saffron partys move to chose Sai as the CM of the state is expected to further solidify the trust of the Vanvasi community in the Narendra Modi led party which earlier threw its weight behind Draupdi Murmu, another BJP leader of the Vanvasi community for the presidential post.
