In the new year, many changes will be seen in the political equation of the state. New political equation will be formed with the new MLAs getting place in the cabinet of Chief Minister Vishnu Dev Sai government. If the proposal to appoint 14 ministers in the state is approved on the lines of Haryana, then three new faces will get a chance in the cabinet of the Sai government.

At present, there is a provision to appoint only 13.5 percent MLAs as ministers as per 15 percent in the 90-seat assembly of the state. Although there is a BJP government in Haryana too and there are also 90 seats in the assembly, despite this 14 ministers have been appointed there.

In such a situation, speculations are being made that the Haryana formula can work in Chhattisgarh too. After Minister Brijmohan Agarwal became Raipur MP, there are 11 ministers in the Sai cabinet now. Apart from the cabinet, the Sai government will also appoint Chairman-Vice Chairman and members in 33 corporation boards. Similarly, there can be an exercise to appoint Deputy Chairman in the assembly and Deputy Leader of Opposition from Congress.
