December 8 proved to be a day of great accident for the country. The news of the death of Chief of Defense Staff (CDS) General Bipin Rawat shook the entire nation. The question arises that who are the contenders for this vacant post now? On whose shoulders will the important responsibility of the security of the country now rest?

Both the government and the country are shocked by the news of Bipin Rawat's death, but the question is about the security of the country. After this accident, Prime Minister Narendra Modi held a meeting of the Cabinet Committee on Security (CCS) at around 6:30 pm. The members of the committee including Home Minister Amit Shah, Defense Minister Rajnath Singh attended. According to sources, the name of the new CDS in place of Bipin Rawat was discussed in the meeting. According to the seniority, the claim of General MM Naravane seems to be the strongest.

Defense expert Sushant Sarin said – no one knows who the government will choose as the next Chief of Defense Staff, but yes the possibility can definitely be expressed. This post is so important that only a senior and experienced officer can be selected for it. From this point of view, the chiefs of the three armies, Army, Navy and Air Force, are its strong contenders.
