Chhattisgarh BJP Minister's Brother Joins Congress Ahead of 2028 Elections
Guru Dhaldas Saheb, elder brother of Chhattisgarh BJP minister Guru Khushwant Saheb, joined the Opposition Congress aiming to contest the 2028 Assembly elections. Both belong to the Satnami community, the state's largest Scheduled Caste group. Dhaldas joined Congress in the presence of former Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel, who welcomed him and expressed intent to challenge the BJP. Dhaldas stated he would not contest against his brother and cited his family's historical ties to Congress and the principles of Baba Guru Ghasidas as reasons for his switch.
