Rajnandgaon: The BJP has suffered a major setback in Chhattisgarh's Rajnandgaon district. Ajay Chhediya, a councillor from ward number 2 of Rajnandgaon Municipal Corporation, has joined the Congress. Ajay was considered close to former Chief Minister Raman Singh and BJP district president Madhusudan Yadav. On Friday, PCC chief Mohan Markam gave him the membership of the party.

Let me tell you that Ajay Chhedia also has a good hold in the ward. That is why he was also given a ticket by the BJP in the municipal elections and he also came after winning. But he decided to join Congress. Thereafter, he reached Raipur on Friday with the Mayor and took over the reins of the Congress. After joining the Congress, Ajay has said that he is very impressed with the policies of the Congress. The way CM is working for development is very good. That is why I am joining Congress.
