The ruling Congress party in Chhattisgarh cuts a sorry figure over the transfer of staff in the state education department when around a dozen party MLAs were left after education minister Premsai Singh Tekam ignored their pleas to secure the desired postings of the persons they had recommended. 
When the situation turned chaotic and volatile the chief minister Bhupesh Baghel had to intervene. He called the infuriated Congress leaders to his official residence but his attempts to pacify them were futile.
