Jogi’s party can affect political scene in Chattisgarh

It is  impossible at this stage to predict the gains Jogi’s new outfit may or may not make in the Assembly polls, but his sudden decision has created a buzz right from Delhi to Raipur, a political observer said. 

The fact that he has a strong following in the state despite being out of power since a long time has prompted the ruling BJP as well as the Congress to devise strategies to counter him, he claimed. Jogi had said he was forced to make the new outfit as the state Congress was incapable of taking on the Raman Singh government. 

“It appears that the main opposition Congress is working like a supporter of the ruling BJP instead of fighting against its misrule. The state needs a strong opposition. My supporters and well wishers want me to take a decision to free this state from the corrupt governance,” Jogi said.
