Baghel, 57, is an OBC leader of Kurmi caste from Chhatisgarh's Durg. He had served as a transport minister in Digvijaya Singh's cabinet in MP and later in Ajit Jogi’s Chhattisgarh cabinet in 2000.

A successor of Charan Das Mahant, Baghel, Congress' prominent OBC face in Chhattisgarh, contested from Patan constituency and defeated BJP's Motilal Sahu by a margin of 27,477 votes.

    Chhattisgarh chief minister Bhupesh Baghel, a relatively unknown name at the national level, was credited for causing the revival for a party, which had lost its entire state leadership in a Naxal attack in 2013.
    On 25 May 2013, Naxalite insurgents of the Communist Party of India (Maoist) attacked a convoy of Indian National Congress leaders in the Darbha Valley in the Sukma district of Chhattisgarh, India. The attack caused at least 27 deaths, including that of former state minister Mahendra Karma and Chhattisgarh Congress chief Nand Kumar Patel. Vidya Charan Shukla, a senior Congress leader, succumbed to his injuries on 11 June 2013. When the former BJP CM Raman Singh popularity is declining for the third time the party contacted killing of Congress that wiped out the entire state leadership creating a huge vacuum. In that year Raman Singh government for the third straight time elected to power.
    It is a huge task for the new Chief Minister to lead the state of which majority of them are tribal population. The Congress government should also investigate the direct involvement of Dr. Raman Singh in Rs 36,000 Crore PDS scam and Rs 5,000 crore chit-fund scam even after 310 FIRs were registered but no action was taken because CM was involved. The party should also investigate the purchase of AgustaWestland VIP helicopters allegations of a commission being paid and the involvement of chief minister Raman Singh's son in the multi-million dollar deal. International Consortium of Investigative Journalists in the Panama Papers, referred to Chief Minister Raman Singh's son Abhishek.
    The BJP's longest-serving Chief Minister Dr. Raman Singh is the most corrupt politician who stashed much of his wealth in tax-free havens.
