The alliance declared [[Ajit Jogi]] as its [[List of Chief Ministers of Chhattisgarh|Chief Ministerial]] candidate. Later, the [[Communist Party of India|CPI]] also gave support to this alliance. The alliance strongly condemns the policies of both the main parties in the state, the [[Bharatiya Janata Party|BJP]] and [[Indian National Congress|INC]] and gives a new platform to the people of Chhattisgarh in the form of a third front. [[Ajit Jogi]] released the manifesto on stamp paper and said, '''"I am ready to go to the jail if the promises remain unfulfilled"'''. However the alliance was badly defeated as it could manage to win only 7 seats out of the 90 seats in which JCC won 5 seats & its alliance partner [[Bahujan Samaj Party|BSP]] won 2 seats. ==References== {{reflist}} ==See also== *[[Indian National Congress breakaway parties]] *[[:Category:Janta Congress Chhattisgarh politicians]] [[Category:2016 establishments in Chhattisgarh]] [[Category:Political parties established in 2016]] [[Category:Political parties in Chhattisgarh]] [[Category:Political parties in India]] [[Category:Indian National Congress breakaway groups]] {{India-party-stub}}'
