C’garh LS polls; In Raman Singh’s stronghold Rajnandgaon, Baghel finds ‘safe seat’

Deccan Chronicle  

Raipur: Congress has sprung a surprise by fielding senior party leader and former chief minister Bhupesh Baghel in Rajnandgaon, considered stronghold of BJP veteran and former chief minister Dr Raman Singh, to wrest the Lok Sabha seat from BJP in the upcoming polls. Besides, Congress feared that Kurmi community votes in Durg may be divided between Mr Baghel and the BJP candidate from the seat Vijay Baghel, the sitting MP, which may work to the disadvantage of the former chief minister in the polls. Kurmis form a sizable population in Rajnandgaon and the factor may work to the advantage of Mr Baghel since BJP has retained sitting MP Santosh Pandey, a Brahmin, in the seat, Congress leaders say. Apart from Mr Baghel, the other five candidates declared by the Congress on Friday are former state home minister Tamradhwaj Sahu from Mahasamund, former urban affairs minister Shiv Kumar Daharia from Janjgir Champa, Jyotna Mahant, the sitting MP and wife of Leader of Opposition Charandas Mahant from Korba, former MLA Vikas Upadhyay from Raipur and Rajendra Sahu, a new face, from Durg.
