Singhdeo, who is a former miner in the Chhattisgarh government, has been at loggerheads with Chief Miner Bhupesh Baghel for some time now. The two leaders had reportedly agreed to share the chief minership for two-and-a-half years each after the Congress came to power in the state in 2018. However, Baghel has refused to step down, leading to a prolonged power struggle.
The appointment of Singhdeo as Deputy Chief Miner is seen as a move to end the infighting within the Congress party in Chhattisgarh. It is also seen as a way to appease Singhdeo and his supporters, who are a powerful force in the state.
