The alliance of Janta Congress Chhattisgarh (Jogi)-Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) and Communist Party of India (CPI) would contest from all the 11 Lok Sabha seats in Chhattisgarh.
This was decided by party’s Legislative Party meeting held with alliance partners held here today said JCC-J's Lormi MLA Dharamjeet Singh.
Talking to reporters after the meeting at ‘Sagaun Bangla’, the official residence of JCC (J) supremo Ajit Jogi, Singh said :“We have made the analysis of each Assembly seat we fought in alliance. It has gained ground by securing almost 14% vote share in the State.”
“Keeping the analysis in view, the alliance has formulated a strategy. Based on it, we have identified our strength and inherent weakness in different areas, which we will work upon by further building the organisation at grass-roots level,” he added.
To a query of Assembly status, Singh said, “Our party leader for Assembly would be elected. Although, Ajit Jogi is our leader but after alliance partners’ meet, a formal announcement will be made. We have demanded a separate room for our MLAs and separate sitting arrangement for our alliance MLAs in the House.”
On BSP getting fewer seats in the Assembly polls, Singh clarified that this time BSP has won two seats while they had fought only on 35 seats compared to year 2013. It has also got vote share of around 4 %, higher than last time.
Commenting on Congress party, he said, “The massive majority will be cause of downfall of the Congress party by next five years. It is yet to decide the Ministers and commence normal function of Government. “
JCC (J) will back Congress in a positive note, if it works on implementation of its promises.
If not then it would be forced to take decisions in favour of people by going from House to road, through public movements, Singh said.
