Chhattisgarh Congress president Bhupesh Baghel, who led his party to victory in the state, will take oath as the new chief minister tomorrow. His colleagues Kamal Nath and Ashok Gehlot will also take charge of Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan where the Congress dethroned the BJP the same day. Top opposition leaders are expected to attend the ceremonies in the state capitals.
In his first tweet since the announcement, Mr Baghel said Congress chief Rahul Gandhi has given him the responsibility of building "a new Chhattisgarh" and he can assure the people of Chhattisgarh that "the new Congress government would live up to their expectations and wishes".
