Congress (then Madhya Pradesh) had a long series of Chief Ministers, Arjun Singh, Motilal Vora and Shyama Charan. Shukla.

But Chhattisgarh was given its name by Bharat Ratna former Prime Minister late Atal Bihari Vajpayee.

Chhattisgarh has been under eclipse for five years and the opportunity has come to remove it.
