Let us tell you that in the recent elections, Congress has won 35 seats in the 90-member assembly of Chhattisgarh. Bharatiya Janata Party has returned to power in the state after five years by securing 54 seats. Before the elections it was claimed that a Congress government would be formed in the state. Exit polls also showed Congress forming the government but when the results came, it was in favour of BJP.
