										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Weeks after clamping a lid on a crisis in Punjab, the Congress is firefighting in Chhattisgarh, where Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel&#8217;s minister TS Singh Deo has laid claim to the top post, demanding rotational chief ministership. Both Bhupesh Baghel and Chhattisgarh Health Minister TS Singh Deo are meeting with Rahul Gandhi in Delhi as the infighting threatens to boil over.</p>
<p>Mr Baghel&#8217;s government completed two-and-a-half years in office in June. That is when Mr Deo and his supporters started pressing for change, insisting that rotational chief ministership was the deal when the party took power in December 2018.</p>
<p>Mr Deo claims he was promised he would take over as Chief Minister after Mr Baghel&#8217;s half-term.</p>
