Factionalism in the Congress party in Chhattisgarh is no new phenomenon and has resulted in constant controversies. Ajit Jogi is a seasoned leader and knows how to fix his opponents quite well. However, his son has been a cause of constant trouble for him. A tape with Amit Jogi offering money to a candidate had surfaced earlier as well. In another tape, he was heard talking about bribing a judge. However, these incidents never caused him any trouble since the party was not involved. This time, the escape will be difficult as he has been caught fixing a deal to remove a Congress candidate from the fray. The authenticity of these tapes, however, has not been established yet. The tapes should be examined and their authenticity proven before any action is initiated.
