Mayawati ditched Janta Congress in Chhattisgarh before snapping ties with SP

Raipur, Jun 24 (UNI) BSP Chief Mayawati who announced to go it alone in all future elections by snapping ties with Samajwadi Party in Uttar Pradesh following Lok Sabha poll debacle had earlier ditched former chief minister of Chhattisgarh Ajit Jogi by breaking alliance with his party ‘Janta Congress’ after suffering defeat in assembly elections in Chhattisgarh.
Before assembly elections in November, last year in Chhattisgarh BSP and Janta Congress had forged alliance. While BSP had fielded 35 candidates, Janta Congress had given tickets to candidates on 55 seats. Mr Jogi was projected as a chief ministerial candidate on behalf of the alliance. While forming alliance both the parties agreed to contest Lok Sabha elections together. According to the seat-sharing pact, BSP will field its candidates from a maximum number of seats.
The BSP-Janta Congress alliance could not perform well in assembly elections. While Janta Congress won five seats, BSP managed to win only two seats in assembly elections. However, this alliance had secured a large number of votes and in many seats, its candidates lost elections with a narrow margin.
