Singh described the day as the 'turning point of his life'.

The Rajnandgaon seat is held by the Congress, which has nominated its sitting legislator Uday Mudliar to take on Raman Singh.

This is the third time in a row that Singh has shifted his constituency.

He successfully contested an assembly bypoll from Dongargaon in 2004 while he lost on his home turf Kawardha to the Congress in 1998.
