i dont know abot all other cm but raman singh is a dunb cm who hesitate to take any decision against the so called industrialist who doesnt follow pollution norms, theif lots & lots of excise duty. he always think of party donation from those guys, where as his victory in the assembly is concerned it was very close fight between bjp & congress in the state. remember in chattisgarh congress is been divided into jogi group, mahant group,vora group, & shukla group. so keeping all these in mind you can not term him as 2nd best cm he might be much lower in the ranking probably 15th to 20th.and its fact.
