List of chief Ministers of Chhattisgarh - wikipedia List of chief Ministers of Chhattisgarh Chief Minister of Chhattisgarh ( Chhattisgarh ka Mukhya Mantri ) Incumbent Raman Singh since 7 December 2003 Appointer Governor of Chhattisgarh Inaugural holder Ajit Jogi Formation 1 November 2000 The Chief Minister of Chhattisgarh is the chief executive of the central Indian state of Chhattisgarh. As per the Constitution of India, the Governor of Chhattisgarh is a state 's de jure head, but de facto executive authority rests with the chief minister. Following elections to the Chhattisgarh Legislative Assembly, the state 's governor usually invites the party ( or coalition ) with a majority of seats to form the government. The governor appoints the chief minister, whose council of ministers are collectively responsible to the assembly. Given that he has the confidence of the assembly, the chief minister 's term is for five years and is subject to no term limits. Since Chhattisgarh was created in 2000, when it was carved out of the tribal - dominated southern districts of Madhya Pradesh, two people have served as the state 's chief minister. The first was the Indian National Congress party 's Ajit Jogi, who served for three years from 2000 to 2003. After Jogi 's departure, since 7 December 2003, Raman Singh of the Bharatiya Janata Party has been the incumbent Chief Minister of Chhattisgarh.
