In Chhattisgarh, MP, and Rajasthan, the ruling BJP is pitted directly against the Congress, even as the presence of the Mayawati-led Bahujan Samaj Party's alliance with former Chhattisgarh chief minister Ajit Jogi's party has made the contest more interesting in that state

'Had I been B team I would not be contesting election from Rajnandgaon (the chief minister's constituency). Had I been B team, I would not have faced a baseless case of murder. There should not be a false case of dacoity against me. My son faced charges of hatching a conspiracy to murder. Had I been B team this all would not have happened,' the former CM of Chhattisgarh Ajit Jogi said
