With trends indicating a win for the Congress in Chhattisgarh, former chief minister Ajit Jogi said on Tuesday that he was "happy" with the "results" and that people chose the party because they found it the most viable alternative to the BJP.
The Janta Congress Chhattisgarh (J) president told reporters that the people of the state wanted to oust the Raman Singh-led government, which has been in office for 15 years.
Jogi, who was in the Congress before he floated his own party, said the assembly results would help his party emerge as a third front in the state.
"I am happy with the results as the BJP is losing," he said.
