Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai has expressed concern and offered prayers for Kiran Singh Dev, the BJP state president and Jagdalpur MLA, who was injured in a road accident and is currently receiving treatment at Jhansi Medical College.
Posting on Wednesday, 29 July 2026, CM Sai wrote in Hindi: 'प्रदेश भाजपा अध्यक्ष एवं जगदलपुर विधायक श्री किरण सिंह देव जी के सड़क दुर्घटना में घायल होने की सूचना मिली' — 'I have received information that state BJP president and Jagdalpur MLA Shri Kiran Singh Dev has been injured in a road accident.' He added that treatment is under way at Jhansi Medical College and invoked the blessings of Maa Danteshwari — the presiding deity of Bastar — for Dev's swift and complete recovery.
Kiran Singh Dev is one of Chhattisgarh BJP's most prominent organisational figures, serving simultaneously as the party's state unit chief and as the elected representative of Jagdalpur, the headquarters of the Bastar division. His dual role makes him a key link between the party's grassroots machinery and its legislative presence in the tribal heartland of the state.
The public statement from the Chief Minister — tagging Dev's official handle @KiranDeoBJP — follows a well-established pattern among Indian political leaders of using social media to signal solidarity with injured or ailing colleagues, reinforcing party cohesion at a moment of personal crisis for a senior functionary.
Further details of the accident and an update on Dev's medical condition are awaited.
Point of View
And any prolonged absence from active duty would be felt across the party's ground operations. The invocation of Maa Danteshwari — the deity most venerated in Bastar — is also a culturally resonant choice, signalling solidarity with the region's identity, not just with a party colleague.
