New Delhi, Dec 14 (IANS) The Congress is likely to announce the Chief Minister for Chhattisgarh on Saturday with the contenders to the post -- state party chief Bhupesh Baghel and Ambikarpur MLA T.S. Singh Deo -- meeting party President Rahul Gandhi in the national capital on Friday.
"We had a meeting with Gandhi over the issue and a decision on who will be the Chief Minister will be taken on Saturday," Deo told IANS after the meeting.
