Chhattisgarh CM Vishnu Deo Sai Returns to Ancestral Farming Roots
The leader of a state in India called Chhattisgarh is named Vishnu Deo Sai.
He is the Chief Minister, which is like the boss of the state government.
Even though he has a very busy job, he took a day off to visit his old family village.
The village is called Bagiya, and it is in a place called Jashpur district.
