Chhattisgarh was carved out of Madhya Pradesh in 2001 and in its short stint as a state has seen 2 governments (Congress : 2001-2004 and BJP : 2004-present). The incumbent CM Raman Singh has an image as a pro-development leader and in the assembly elections in December scripted a facile win. The honeymoon period means that the BJP should not have any issues in getting a comfortable win but the saffron party must be eyeing a clean sweep. In 2004 they won 10 of the 11 seats and at the very least would want to retain that number however difficult it may be. The congress party's machinery in the state is literally non-existent. They dont have a leader to match Raman Singh. Ajit Jogi seems to vanished into thin air. All said and done if the congress picks itself up it can still win a few seats. Emulating the 04 results wont be an easy task for the BJP. It will still win hands down. A colourful contest is the one between Dilip Singh Judeo and Renu Jogi in Bilaspur.
Seat Projection:-
TOTAL Seats - 11
BJP - 9
Cong - 2
