September 20, 2018 19:01

The Bahujan Samaj Party has decided to contest upcoming assembly polls in Chhattisgarh in alliance with former chief minister Ajit Jogi's Janta Congress Chhattisgarh.

"The BSP will fight on 35 seats and Janta Congress Chhattisgarh will contest 55 seats. If we win, Ajit Jogi will be the CM," BSP chief Mayawati said.

Jogi said the alliance will stop the Bharatiya Janata Party from coming to power in Chhattisgarh again.

"The BJP is in power in Chhattisgarh for the past 15 years. With money power and by exploiting administrative authority, they want to be re-elected. But now that we have entered into an alliance, we will definitely stop them," Jogi said. -- ANI
