Downplaying the reports of former Chhattisgarh chief minister Ajit Jogi contemplating to leave the Congress, senior leader Digvijaya Singh on Thursday said the former had sold party's candidate Mandu Pawar to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and it is for the good of the grand old party that such inmates quit.
Singh told ANI, "Ajit Jogi had sold the Congress candidate Mandu Pawar to the BJP. So it's good for the Congress that such people are leaving the party."
However, Jogi earlier said he has no choice but to quit the Congress to improve the state's condition as the grand old party is presently working like 'Team-B' for Raman Singh-led state government.
Jogi's news of quitting the party came after reports of the Congress vice-president being elevated as the party president started doing round in the political arena.
