Chhattisgarh Health Minister T.S. Singh Deo on Thursday said he had not yet decided whether he will contest the next assembly elections and will consult his supporters before taking a final decision.
Singh Deo said last week that he will decide his future ahead of the state elections due in 2023.
Asked about this on the sidelines of a programme here, he told reporters to wait for some time.
"I have not made up my mind yet. Otherwise, during earlier elections in 2008, 2013 and 2018, I was ready to contest (early on). This time I have not made up my mind. I will ask people before taking any step," he said.
In July, Singh Deo resigned from the Panchayat and Rural Development department though he continues to hold his other four portfolios.
