It is believed that the individuals of this area had been unilaterally supporting T S Singh Deo, the distinguished chief and scion of the royal household, to make him the Chief Minister. However, T S Singh Deo could not turn out to be the Chief Minister. Sensing the anger amongst individuals, Congress made Deo Deputy Chief Minister months forward of the polls.
