Raipur: In one word - infighting. Congress failed to name its chief ministerial candidate because it was afraid of dissidents sabotaging the party's chances. Ajit Jogi's family was the right one to inherit if the Congress returned to power, but the Congress High Command desisted from declaring his son's or wife's name.
While BJP chief minister Raman Singh's face created an impression among voters, the Congress caught in groupism was unable to announce its chief ministerial candidate.
