The BSP's announcement that the party will ally with former chief minister Ajit Jogi's front in Chhattisgarh has irked the Congress as the main opposition party was hoping for an alliance with Mayawati to take on the BJP in upcoming polls.

Hitting out at the BSP, the Chhattisgarh Congress said Mayawati's party has allied with Jogi, a rebel Congress leader, as it was facing heat from central government agencies.
