New Delhi : Vishnu Deo Sai, a tribal leader and formal Union Minister, has been named as new Chief Minister of Chhattisgarh by BJP.

His name has been selected on the lines of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's ideology of having a tribal leader in the state where 34% of the total population accumulates as tribals. They are the largest population group in the state after other backward classes.

Shri Vishnu Deo Sai, 59, is also known to be favoured by the party's ideological mentor Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh. Additionally, he is close to former Chief Minister Raman Singh, who has been the party's tallest leader in the state.
