Nine assembly seats where BJP yet to taste victory since formation of Chhattisgarh
BJP has governed Chhattisgarh for 15 years but it has never been able to register a win in a cluster of nine constituencies ever since the state was formed in 2000. Hoping to buck the trend, the party has roped in new faces for six of these seats this time. Chhattisgarh will vote in two phases on Nov 7 and 17. Of these nine seats, Sitapur, Pali-Tanakhar, Marwahi, Mohla-Manpur and Konta are reserved for the Scheduled Tribe category, while the remaining four - Kharsia, Korba, Kota and Jaijaipur - are general constituencies.
