The Congress made an impressive comeback in Chhattisgarh after a long gap of 15 years by winning 68 seats in the 90 seat Assembly. BJP was relegated to a distant second spot, winning just 15 seats, while BSP and Ajit Jogi's Janata Congress Chhattisgarh won in two and five constituencies each.

CM Raman Singh submitted his resignation to the Governor following Congress party's impressive win.
