Raipur, Dec. 21 :    Raipur, Dec. 21:  Chief minister Ajit Jogi will fly to Delhi early tomorrow to present to Congress president Sonia Gandhi the 12 MLAs who quit the BJP last afternoon and declared themselves part of the Congress today. With the MLAs - who formed the Chhattisgarh Vikas Party - switching loyalties the Ajit Jogi-led Congress in Chhattisgarh now has the numbers to send two members to the Upper House. The Opposition BJP is not in a position to send any. Before yesterday's development, the Congress had 49 seats in the 90-member Assembly, while the BJP had 35. The Congress has a two-third majority with 61 members now and the BJP has 23. To be able to elect a member to the Rajya Sabha, a party would need at least 31 votes. Sources in the state Congress said the high command has already given the nod to include the dissident BJP members in the Congress. BJP leader and Raipur MLA Brijmohan Agarwal said: 'We were not told anything. But the 12 MLAs who left the party had issued statements that they were not being given a fair deal by the present party leadership. Some of them were afraid they might not be given tickets for the next Assembly elections scheduled for December 2003.' Brijmohan, who is himself not in the good books of party president Lakhiram Agarwal, said: 'Ajit Jogi had been trying from day one to break the BJP. It is true he had a majority with 49 seats, but his intention was to weaken the BJP which has been growing in numbers in Chhattisgarh.' When Jogi became chief minister in November 2000, he was not an MLA. In February, he chose to contest from a BJP seat. Ram Dayal Uike, the BJP MLA from Marwahi, evacuated his seat on frivolous grounds and laid the red carpet for Ajit Jogi. The chief minister won with a margin of over 50,000 votes. Uike was made chairman of the state SC/ST board with perks equivalent to a Cabinet minister. If the BJP is to be believed, yesterday's crisis occurred because the Jogi government had more than one aspirant for the Rajya Sabha, one being a leading industrialist who has a steel and power plant in the state. The government had recently entered into an agreement for a Rs 1,200 crore project with him. The Congress cannot afford to send an industrialist to Parliament when there are so many aspirants within the party, the BJP says. Now, the Congress has the required numbers to send the industrialist and one partyman to the Rajya Sabha. Jogi's image in the party as well as investments in the state would get a boost.
