Raipur. “TS Singhdev, Deepak Baij are big leaders, I am a carpet spreader and a flag hoisting worker. TS Singhdev and Deepak Baij have their own opinions, but in my opinion Bhupesh Baghel should be the Chief Minister in future too. Bhupesh Baghel is the best Chief Minister of the country. He did a lot of work for the tribals”, said Kawasi Lakhma amid the ongoing rhetoric in the Congress regarding the post of Chief Minister.
On the question of becoming a minister if the Congress government is formed again in the state, Kawasi Lakhma said ‘who does not want to become a minister, I also want to, but this will be decided by the high command. If they say, I will become a minister, if they ask me to lay a carpet, I will lay the carpet’.
On the question of the next Chief Minister if the Congress government comes to power, he said that my choice, the choice of the tribals and farmers is Bhupesh Baghel. The rest is whatever decision the high command takes. I have no greed to become a minister, I come from a tribal family. But my choice is Bhupesh Baghel.
On TS Singhdev’s statement that he will not contest the next elections, Lakhma said that I am a poor tribal man. We will do whatever the Nehru family says. The Chief Minister is decided by the legislative party. Bhupesh Baghel settled in the hearts of Chhattisgarhi people in 5 years. Bhupesh Baghel did a lot for the tribals. I am a small worker. The better Chief Minister is Bhupesh Baghel.
