A Brief Biography of Vishnu Deo Sai
Vishnu Deo Sai was born on February 21, 1964, in a small village called Bagiya in Jashpur district of Chhattisgarh. He belongs to the Oraon tribe, one of the largest adivasi communities in the state.
Sai inherited his political legacy from his family, which had a long history with the Jan Sangh, the predecessor of the BJP. His grandfather and uncles were all active in politics and held various positions.
After completing his schooling in Kunkuri, Sai moved to Ambikapur for his graduation. However, he dropped out of college in 1988 and returned to his village. In 1989, he was elected as a panch (village council member) and the next year, he became the sarpanch (village head) unopposed.
Encouraged by veteran BJP leader Dilip Singh Judeo, Sai entered electoral politics in 1990. He won the assembly election from Tapkara and retained his seat in the 1993 election. In 1998, he shifted to the neighboring constituency of Pathalgaon but lost the election.
Later, he won four consecutive terms as an MP from Raigarh Lok Sabha constituency (1999-2014). He served as the state president of the BJP in Chhattisgarh from 2006 to 2010 and again from 2014 to 2022. In November 2023, he was nominated as a member of the BJP national executive.
In the 2023 assembly elections, he was fielded from Kunkuri and won by a significant margin. This victory paved the way for him to become the new chief minister of Chhattisgarh.
