Janta Congress Chhattisgarh (J) (transl. People's Congress Chhattisgarh;abbr.JCC)[2] is a political party in theIndian state ofChhattisgarh. The party was founded by formerChief Minister,Ajit Jogi, after Jogi and his sonAmit were expelled fromIndian National Congress due to anti-party activities as well as sabotaging abypoll election inAntagarh.Amit Jogi was expelled for six years.[3][4][5]
Ajit Jogi launched the party in Thathapur village ofKawardha district and directly challenged Chief Minister of ChhattisgarhRaman Singh.[6][7]
The JCC andBSP decided to fight in the2018 Chhattisgarh Legislative Assembly election in alliance with each other according to which, JCC contested on 55 seats whileBSP contested on 35 seats. The alliance declaredAjit Jogi as itsChief Ministerial candidate. Later, theCPI also gave support to this alliance. The alliance strongly condemns the policies of both the main parties in the state, theBJP andINC and gives a new platform to the people of Chhattisgarh in the form of a third front.Ajit Jogi released the manifesto on stamp paper and said, "I am ready to go to the jail if the promises remain unfulfilled". However the alliance was badly defeated as it could manage to win only seven seats out of the 90 seats in which JCC won five seats and its alliance partnerBSP won two seats.
The JCC broke its alliance withBSP and decided to contest the election alone. Party head Amit Jogi decided to contest fromPatan, the seat of the currentChief MinistersBhupesh Baghel.[8] The party failed to win any seat and got negligible vote share.
