Ex-Chhattisgarh MLA blames TS Singh Deo for Congress' shocking defeat in Assembly polls

As the Congress bit the dust in the recently concluded Assembly polls in Chhattisgarh, losing power to the BJP, former party MLA Brihaspati Singh on Saturday said that the resignation of TS Singh Deo as a Panchayati Raj Minister last year triggered the anti-incumbency against the Baghel government. The Congress leader alleged that the outgoing Deputy Chief Minister damaged the party's image several times and said that had disciplinary action been taken against him, the party wouldn't have faced defeat.
