Raipur
\nThe Congress forming the next government in Chhattisgarh became a mere formality Tuesday as Chief Minister Raman Singh of BJP resigned, after his party\u2019s disappointing performance in the state Assembly polls.<\/p>\n
The BJP’s longest-serving CM, who held the office for 15 years, said the party was ready to sit in Opposition and play a constructive role.\u201cI have submitted my resignation to Chhattisgarh Governor,\u201d Raman Singh told reporters. He said he accepts responsibility for BJP\u2019s poll performance in Chhattisgarh, adding \u201cwe will sit and introspect\u201d.<\/p>\n
He refused to pass the buck on the BJP\u2019s national leadership over the setback after 15 years of the party\u2019s rule in the state.\u201cThe election was solely contested on state agenda and it is not related to Delhi. We will sit with the party workers and analyse the defeat in detail.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThis will not reflect on the Lok Sabha election scheduled in 2019. The issues for Lok Sabha are different and election will be contested on those issues,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is time to work in a new role for Chhattisgarh. We will work with full vigour,\u201d Singh said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
