     Raipur, November 19, 2008: BJP would be forming government again in Chhattisgarh with a majority of at least 55 seats, state Chief Minister Dr Raman Singh said today.

     A day ahead of the poll in 51 constituencies, the Chief Minister while talking to media said, this time the BJP would be getting more seats than what it had in December 2003 election.

     The BJP would be getting more than 2003 assembly election and that would be about 55 seats, Singh said.

     He also pointed out that the issues like road, electricity, water and infrastructure were entirely missing from the campaign where as issues like corruption was raised by Congress.
