Baghel met the bereaved family members and expressed his deepest condolences. The Chief Minister consoled the family members.
Recalling his association and the moments spent with Sohan Potai, Baghel said he was a great leader of the tribals and fought for the rights of the tribals throughout his life. The Chief Minister termed the demise of Sohan Potai as an irreparable loss to the society.
