No Chief Ministerial ambitions

That's such an incredible act of renunciation:

Former Chief Minister Ajit Jogi considered by many as a hurdle in the road of Congress victory in Chhattisgarh, has finally declared that he does not nurture any chief ministerial aspirations. This may lead to realignment of forces within the state Congress as observers think that like S M Krishna, he would also be ignored.


He had earlier described an operation to eliminate "Maoists"
as "genocide". I'd say that is an interesting choice of terminology.

Last week’s encounter at Edesmeta in Chhattisgarh’s Bijapur district, in which eight “innocent” tribals, including three children, were gunned down by security forces, seems to have provided fodder to the Opposition Congress in the poll-bound state to attack the Raman Singh government.
“It is not a fake encounter but genocide. The incident has clearly demonstrated the state BJP government’s insensitivity towards the helpless tribals of Bastar who are sandwiched between forces and Naxals,” former chief minister and senior Congress leader Ajit Jogi told reporters here on Thursday.
